Mark and I finally decided to tackle a project that has been in the back of Murph's mind since long before we started the Great Backyard Makeover. This is jsut a dead spot in the yard where we blow all the leaves in the fall. Last year we even threw some gourds and pumpkins back in there to see what would happen.
Lots of vinca vines and poison ivy vines to clear out. I found lots of treasures the dogs had carried back there over the years, and maybe a few things from the yahoos. Carolyn took the orange ditch lilies, and I gave all the other flowers new homes in the yard. We decided to just use the items we could find around the yard. Doing it on a limited budget. We had an entire section on fencing that someone screwed very securely to the existing fence that was a Bear to remove. Thanks to Kory and his idea to use channel locks (because we had already tried everything else), they got it out in no time flat.
I'm telling you it has been brutal! And my allergies are more than full-blown.
It took us a bit to get the placement of the fence and gate.
My skinny handyman is doing his best.
Here is where the Hillbilly part comes in. The handyman attached the fence section with hinges going the 'wrong' way, but it was the right way for this project.
All cleaned up after tilling it and removing all the surprises.
All cleaned up, tools put away, and now it is time for a sit and a Pepsi.
Zhuzhing the outside of the fence panel with marigold seeds in the cinderblocks, and host in the blank spots. I decided that I didn't think the black tub met the look I was going for.

We had some pieces of old cattle panel that I decided to use as a trellis for birdhouse gourds and small fancy gourds.
