We'd struggled with the squirrels getting into the seeds, but we did have a good garden that year.<br /><br />Year two was fencing it off: I found the picket fence at the Habitat ReStore. It needs to be painted, but it is serving us well.<br /><br />Year three (this year) was to put the walkways in. David found an entire pallet of these stones for $10 at Lowe's on clearance. They are miscast and break fairly easily - but for our purposes and budget this works great!<br /><br />This has been my favorite year to garden. The weeds are easier to maintain and I love the walkways !Monica Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235919587298518908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-27370625061474961562009-05-13T21:15:00.000-04:002009-05-13T21:15:00.000-04:00Oh my goodness, I love your garden!

I have a raised one, but I really like the look of yours with the blocks/stones between each bed--so pretty!<br /><br />And I sometimes knit in a rocking chair outside, so I can keep an eye on the kids.

When that hot iron hits the material his aftershave seems to form an aura around my head and put me in dream land. As we are so old those are about it. Memories. Your blog is great. I loved the days of my children's growing up years. Your garden is doing great. Used to go outside to dry laundry on the line too. Prohibitions where we live now on clothes lines.

You are so clever! <br /><br />We have been known to borrow from the pioneers by setting-up an outdoor kitchen (on the shady side of the yard) using an outdoor table and a camping stove. This is a great way to process & can large batches of jam, jelly, fruits and vegetables (or blanching large amounts of fruit and vegetables before freezing)...it is often a cooler place to work...keeps the mess outside (where we can, literally, hose-down the mess :-) ... while adding pleasantness and novelty to a sometimes dreaded task.
