KK,

What kind of beer do you like? (we also have some good wine) I might need to invite you over for a nice lunch or dinner some time. It would be nice to get a second opinion on not only the garden, but also some landscaping ideas. Lots of property, where some of it we would want really nice, and the other sections just a basic field. Looking at some Kwanzan cherry trees to line the driveway, etc. A mixture of hick and sophistication. (sophistHICKation)

I did get my 4 corner posts set in concrete today for my deer fence on the first garden. Had a bunch of 2x6's that were left out and got weathered, so I doubled those up into 4x6's, trimmed them off at 10'. Any deer that gets in there is either a bruiser, or sausage. There are elk in the area, so it should hold up to them as well. I'll set the posts for the entry door supports tomorrow, and then dig in a few posts for intermediate fence supports. Actually measured the two garden plots, 25'x35' each. 1,700 SF should suffice for now. Looks like I overestimated the other day.

Out of pocket costs right now was just $25 for 10 60# bags of concrete, $6 for onion seeds, and gas for the rototiller. Mom & Dad are getting me a gift card for Territorial Seed for my B-day tomorrow. Dad's B-day is Tuesday, and he asked for some really good bacon, the man's 76 years old, so I got him 4 pounds of the "good stuff".
