G is for Garden

What better way to start a new blog - than with a new season and a new garden.  We have expanded our old garden (8 X 20) to 8 X 55.  You can see that at the back side of the fence we have attached a 24" galvanized steel rabbit fence.  We dug this a few inches in the ground and secured to the back cedar fence with a staple gun.  We are expecting some work in our yard later this week, so we plan to finish off the front fencing this upcoming weekend.  Instead of securing the fence to the posts the traditional way, we have been told that cable ties would be better as they are easier to work with if you need to change things around a bit.

The garden bed was topped off with roughly 3 inches of compost (4 tons!), purchased from a local supply vendor.  Paver stones were added to create paths and also to separate planting beds.

Here is a photo of the garden, before the expansion work:
