If you are starting seeds at home, it’s time! I’m not, just so you don’t think I’m super awesome or anything. I’m going to happily plunk down my money at the greenhouse for real plants–only after I get my rabbit fence up.
I had a very expensive garden fail last year when the cute little fluffies razed everything to the ground in the night. So you can be sure not one seed will hit the ground until my rabbit fence is built.
I decided instead of fencing each bed individually, I’d like a fence around it all so once I’m inside the perimeter I can work freely.The plan is to buy 100 feet of 4 foot tall galvanized chicken wire. Then bend the bottom foot of wire in an L shape like a foot for the fence to stand on. We’ll bury that a few inches underground to discourage digging and then fasten the wire to fence posts every 3 feet. Of course, there will need to be a gate. I’m not sure how that will work out, but my farmer husband says not to worry. He’s built many a fence, so I’ll let him take the lead here.
Below are some of the garden ideas I’ve loved from pinterest :).
