Ryan and I have been planning some major changes to the garden for about a year now, and this week they finally got underway when we had the fence replaced. On Monday it looked like this:
The garden was divided into three parts – the front garden, the back garden and what we laughingly call the ‘Sunset Strip’ (it faces west), an extra strip of garden to the front of the house, which was only accessible from the road. It was home to some allotment-style raised beds, and my compost heaps, but it always looked a mess and it was hard to water anything because it is a long way from the tap. Also, it is very exposed, and I don’t like gardening in public.
So I have given up trying to garden in this space, and the plan is to build a workshop on it for Ryan, but the first step in that process was to bring it inside the fence, and make it part of the back garden (and no, I don’t know why that wasn’t done originally!).
The upshot of this is that for three days this week the garden was invaded by two men replacing the fence, which I found a particularly traumatic experience as they weren’t at all careful where they put their feet. My wild garlic and a Welsh onion have been mercilessly trampled; hopefully they will bounce back, but it has put paid to any hope of a harvest any time soon.
It also meant spending a night with no fence at all, which was extremely uncomfortable, but did give us a rare view of the garden:

And this one shows the finished fence:
The fence work was all done during one of the spring storms that seem to be the latest symptom of climate chaos, and the fence people said they were very busy with emergency panel replacements elsewhere. Our fence work was planned, but

Spot the difference: fences and beds
It has been rare this winter for free time, spare energy and decent weather to all come at once. Yesterday Ryan and I had a day off in the sunshine, so we made as much progress in the garden as we could (bearing in mind it is still waterlogged!).

Doodle by andre: on the fence
GOOD FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS or some such wisdom, but what do they do to marriages? Apparently, fences provoke “discussion.” Like this one.

Turning Dreaded Buckthorn Into an English Wattle Fence
Buckthorn is a noxious shrub/tree that destroys our woods. I needed to make a fence to hide a compost pile. I'd seen beautiful English wattle fences and decided to cut buckthorn branches to make it. First, I cut down a bunch of branches before they'd leafed out in the Spring. Then I set few treated posts into concrete and «wove» the branches back and forth like a basket. It was easy! I capped the posts with 1x12 cedar and then stained it to match the buckthorn «basket».

PVC Fence
In our backyard I wanted to build a PVC fence that goes from post to post of a patio. Originally, I build the fence out of wood but it only lasted 3 years and then started to rot because of the rain. So I decided to rebuild it using PVC pipe. The PVC pipe should last a lot longer and the price is not much different from the wood fence.
