Sorry; haven't taken a pic yet. Been too busy just oogling my new fence.

We opted for those green metal post thingies- 5-footers- and wire mesh fencing. Got lucky at the end when we spaced them 6' apart, and they were EVEN! So I have a 48' garden, not a 50' one. The fence was placed along the entire north length, and it looks so PPPREEETTTYYY!!!!!! I can't wait to start stuff up it!

I have a few cold-season things started in Winter Sown jugs that have sprouted, so those will be the first to go in (not fence stuff...just stuff).

Can I do peas direct-sown now? I started some scarlet runner beans for vining color- heard those are lovely. Do they last all season? (The flowers, I mean)

I don't think we'll end up doing the whole SFG route, nor the raised beds-lovely-potager-design thing that I originally planned, but OMG what a difference with the fence! (DH wants to cover the ENTIRE garden space with black plastic (48x30 or so). I think it's totally ugly, but I'll try it his way for now. When it doesn't work, we'll try it my way ;)) He tilled the whole space again this weekend, and I'll rake it level and drape the plastic this week sometime.

I DO plan on making 'sorta' little small baby-gardens instead of the boring rows, though. I'll let him have his way with the hardware, but I get to decide on placement of stuff. Since I need to be getting out there to tend it all season, it needs to be attractive.

Anyway, just making conversation this morning; no commentary needed; just excited about the fence. Oh, but I guess I need the peas & beans questions answered. Thanks!

Yee haa...I'm on my way!
