The new fence is to keep dogs and chickens out of my herb beds...they were trampling them to death. Plus, I needed more raised bed space. So far, it's working out great! :ThumbUp:

The other fence is fine, just looks messed up in this pic. :nutz:

Here's a pic from today. We have the veggie garden all laid out and half planted, and the start of the pergola up. The trees are putting ut lots of new growth, and the shrubs are flowering.

Is the pergola what I see in the bottom right corner?

And what do you have down making the lighter brown lines in the veggie garden?

It looks awesome out there.

We are all under the same stars, therefore we are never far apart.

Yes, that is the pergola. It will cover the patio, so there will be some shade out there during the summer.

The lines are strips of carpeting left over from lining the pond. This is the second year using them, and so far, it's working well.  :ThumbUp:

Mike built me an arbor at the bottom of the hill for the wisteria...



He will finish it probably Friday, then I will train the wisteria up over it.

                         YAY MIKE! 
That's gunna be great with Wisteria on it!  I like that it matches the one he built on your back patio. :Yahoo:

I hope he can finish this one without it falling on him! :Shiner:  He won't be doing things like that around there, if he gets hit in the head hard enough.

:tuschel: (Just a little inside info, that nobody else probably knew about!) :giggle:

That looks great.  Good going Mike.  I'm thinking I would like something like that where my sidewalk starts but I'm not that motivated to do things where I need to get up on a ladder.  Color me cowardly yellow.

WOW Sarah, that is just amazing.  I cannot believe how much it has all filled in.  Looks great.
