was inspired to add some visual heft to the garden beds with rocks as a rain garden/border & bit of extra habitat. i think the little frogs will love it. i’ve dug up a few bigger rocks from elsewhere on the land that i’ll try & roll over to the garden tomorrow;) still fleshing things out while being careful of the seeds i’ve already planted. continuing to fortify the bottom 2 feet of the fence - to ground contact - with chicken wire. plenty of hares around so can’t skimp out on that part of the process! i have carpal tunnel like crazy so i’m doing this part in sections each day. Almost done! You can see above on the right side of the fence the fortified section at the bottom. i fold the wire under on the ground (toward the garden) & hold into place with heavy u shaped landscaping staples.

yes, it would have made more sense to do the bottom fence section first - but i really wanted to get the garden beds & seeds in as early as i could ( i’m already pushing it seeding them in july) so i just kept it in mind when laying everything else out. so far so good.
