Fencing Question

[majorcatfish]

that's the nice thing here, everyone has a little twist to garden fencing needs....

One day I would like to have a large garden that is totally enclosed and I can just walk in. No birds, squirrels, racoons, etc. would ever eat my fruits and veggies again! I think Martha has a walk in blueberry garden.

In the days of cheap labor gardens where surround by high stone or brick walls. Would love to have a walled in garden. Then maybe would do May 7 naked gardener day.

You'd still need to watch out for Jack and his drone though.

I suppose my GOOP gardening won't lend itself to this scheme. (Gardening On Other People's Property )

I told one neighbor that his huge pile of rocks was on the wrong (downwind) side of the garden. I envisioned either of 2 responses. He could have:

• offered to carry the rocks to the other side of my garden and build a windbreak
• offered the ground on the other side of the pile of rocks as a location for my garden

NyBoy, if we continue on a path of ever increasing population with ever diminishing natural resources, we should get back to those cheap labor rates.

Now, wait a minute...if your garden was enclosed by a brick wall you wouldn't have very much of it Full Sun. That "Secret Garden" had to have a LOT of shade plants in it, or they would have died. FICTION!!! pfft

I like shade plants. I do believe Thomas Jefferson's house had a large walled in vegetable garden

Ducks, you have to picture a much bigger garden. . . . then remember full sun is only 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. In the summer that would mean sun from 10:00 to 4:00. Quite possible depending upon the height of the stone walls where half the garden would be in sunlight earlier and the other half in sunlight later as the sun moved.

Loved "The Secret Garden". One of a very few books I read more than once.

I can't see me building on in IL. We are WAAAAAYYYY too wet, here.

My problem is no rocks. Yes, I hear some of you saying that's not a problem, it's a blessing. I agree!
