A thought (you've probably had - a decorative bamboo screen behind your seat? I'm certain you will come up with a creative solution :-D<br /><br />Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-7320304993828351512013-10-04T21:20:10.841-04:002013-10-04T21:20:10.841-04:00What you do is totally incredible!What you do is totally incredible!SandyCarlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752798823532580733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-58077978359752921422013-10-03T23:51:49.068-04:002013-10-03T23:51:49.068-04:00What a wonderful garden, it appears to have seen a...What a wonderful garden, it appears to have seen a lot of love and very thoughtful hands...the accents you used in your garden are really special.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608633530379069161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-12459542705760285322013-10-02T20:25:09.916-04:002013-10-02T20:25:09.916-04:00Dear Lisa - thank you for your visit to my blog......Dear Lisa - thank you for your visit to my blog...ah your veggie corner is fabulous.

Purchase four 6' fence posts, our TSC gives you a bag of clips to hold on the fencing. One section of cattle fencing. I get the cheap one that has all big square holes. To bring the 16' fence home I have to bow it in the middle to fit into the back of our truck so it gets a somewhat natural bend before I even get home. Drive the posts into the ground a couple of feet. Easier to do after a rain. Try to get them straight. It makes it easier to attach the fence to the posts if you have someone help you. Attach one side then the other. You can eyeball how high you want it. The closer the posts the higher the arch can be. I wanted this one wide enough to have a path down both sides of the veggie bed. Fence and posts cost about $36. Will probably last until I get tired of it for sure.<br />Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-85793994468826879352013-10-01T07:55:32.946-04:002013-10-01T07:55:32.946-04:00Lisa, It looks fantastic...Loved the arch and it&#...Lisa, It looks fantastic...Loved the arch and it's even more fun with the fork and spoon!

We put a tall chicken wire stuff around out compost bin and it opens on one side so we can put lots in it and turn the pile.. and no critters can dig it out. I should take a pix of it. Also some bamboo screen would be good along the fence. Holds up in rain here. Or lattice with small holes in it. In fact we put up a single lattice small hope panel from Home Depot or Lowes with the bamboo matting on it for privacy from our neighbors.Takes up little room and Con built a frame for it. Works nice. Fun to fix up a neglected area. Nice job. Oh and got the bulbs all planted. Just in time for tons of rain. Come on Spring. :))Cris, Oregon Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13521351715446057243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-34643345466324332862013-09-29T21:33:23.123-04:002013-09-29T21:33:23.123-04:00Rose, I got them at Lowes.

Where did you get your planter stones? I've been wanting to make some raised beds, but my skills with a hammer are pretty limited:) Stacking stones sounds a whole lot easier to me.<br /><br />Maybe you could grow vines on the fence to hide the neighbor's pool? I have a friend who plants tomatoes next to a chain link fence and uses the fence as her "staks."
