Fence & gate

Here is the garden with the fence up and the gate hung!  
I haven't decided what to do with the Mexican tiles just yet, so they are lined up along the fence . . . waiting for their new function to be revealed to them!
I planted more lettuce and peas.  As soon as the last frost date passes, I can really get busy in that garden!

The new garden


Our neighbors, Robert and April, let us put our garden down on their property since they have a big open field with lots of sunshine.  We haven't cleared a garden spot on our land yet . . . A project for another time after we've finished building our road!
The soil is rich and wonderful.  To start, I've got lots of flower seeds as well as beets, carrots, sugar snap peas and several kinds of lettuce and spinach.  
I'm putting up a fence to keep out the local cows.  They get out of their pasture almost daily!
