So the intention was we were going to head on outside and get the whole fence complete, twine on the posts and peas in the ground all in like the 2 & 1/2 hours I allotted before having to go take care of the grandparents. What can I say? I'm optimistic!
What actually happened was we got completely distracted by poop clean up, weeding the opposite end of the garden, and these little guys......I spent way to long gathering and relocating these cute little guys to a nice cushie spot in the front yard.
I was convinced (and still deep down wish) they were going to turn into beautiful butterflies. Thanks to the input from some FB friends and a google image search I now know I am the proud owner of Grubs. :(
Well lesson learned and hopefully I don't have to many more.
(Note to self - Google natural grub killers)
Update..... "Milky Spore" (Bacillus popilliae)
So after our many distractions we did get going on our fence.
Here are a couple before pics and Kya demonstrating the reason why we need a fence in the first place.
Here is what it looks like with just the posts in.
We discovered that the back fence has about 8 inches of grout that is buried so we had to bring the posts out a bit. Sorta stinks because we loose a bit of land, but it shouldn't be that big of a deal.
I also was able to get the twine up along the back. I doubled up to give the vines something strong to climb on. At each post I used the hooks in the posts and wrapped it around once as I went by.
Its not exactly how I pictured it but I think its going to work!
I hope to get the front completed this week and the peas in the ground.
The inside seeds are next too!!! Can't wait to see some green!!
