Moving Forward with the Garden

It often isn't sexy but fencing is crucial in our neck of the woods. Deer regularly pass through. So a very expensive first step has been to fence our back yard.

The back part of the fence has turned out surprisingly sexy. It is our modern take on a country fence. But really the work was all thanks to the vision of Shannon Lightfoot- a jack of all trades.

We chose an open fence to maintain the view of the ocean and marina downhill. It sits on top of a 4 foot tall rock wall. And we are relying on the fact that deer haven't learned how to slither under or through things.

Our wonderful permaculture garden expert Mark Wilkes celebrated by planting raspberry canes transplanted from his yard.
