Almost There for the Garden Area

The schnauzer/terrier black metal cutout sign was a $3 thrift shop find. I had to dig throuh the hospice thrift framing area to find something suitable to cover the hole in the chain link fencing in the gate. Garden area will henceforth be guarded by both the garden gecko and the schnauzers. I used salvaged wonky chain link fencing sections from our property to make the deer-proof enclosure. That little sign is also a nod to my mom. Even though she never had that dog as a pet, it was her favorite breed. 

None of the hardware fit the gate to latch it. I may have to resort to a velcro fastener. I will fill the planter with at least 4 bags of soil. Then I can start transplating the starts that I have into the planter and purchase some more vegetables like watermelon and cucumber. 

Weeks of hard work have finally paid off. I did all of the assemblage of the galvanized steel planter, down to the attaching the chain link sections together. My son hauled the bags of soil down to the corner but I put all the soil in by the bag into the planter. 

The last piece to this project will be adding privacy screen slats to one side of the fencing that faces the neighbors (section shown on the far left). Researching now to find slats at the lowest cost/highest quality.
