Fruit Tree Fencing work continues - Side garden

Continuing on with the fence in the front yard for the fruit trees.
The front section mostly completed. I have the long western side and the gate section remaining to complete.

Toady measured out the four post needed and set two in the ground before the rain go too heavy to work outside. Again, they are 8 foot 4" x 4" post, sunk in 24" holes. Once they are all in they will be trimmed to 4 foot tall and caps installed - matching the front section you see in the picture.

You may notice there is a slight "dog leg" from the right hand corner post back to the new posts. I could not run the front fence all the way to the property line, as the gas line comes in from across the street in this area. I did have the "Call before you Dig" guys come out and mark all the utility lines, so I knew it was there. I did see it when I was digging that post hole. I didn't want to sacrifice any more of the interior of the yard than necessary, so I put the other post where they should go and did a little dog leg.

The other issue as to where the right hand corner post is, is that I didn't want to cut down the tree, or even try to remove the roots of the old Rhododendron there. So, I cut the old Rhody off as flush as I could for the chain link fencing to go over it.

Those trees will block the sun a bit for that section of garden, but they are lightly leaved and a lot of sun still filters through.

This is the section were we will have the fire pit, already ordered, and seating area. Our intention is to have a Friday night custom of hanging out here and the neighbors and stop by for a chat and drink. Maybe some home made cookies, too.

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet Potatoes

• Row of 15 plants along the stones. 
• 5 different varieties. 
• They came as plants.
• What more is there to say really. 

Oh the plan you ask.. You were thinking it I know....

They were planted up by the stones because they should spread down hill towards the driveway and cover that area. You can't tell from the picture, but it is rather steep left to right. We may put some other plants there and they can grow around them.

PS: The larger plants on the right are the Snapdragons from last year that overwintered. Some didn't make it, but I cleaned these up and some already have flower buds on them. Those of you that know me know I love me some Snapdragons. Used to grow them in a small patch in our garden in Belleair as a kid.

Black Coat Runner Bean.

Planted 3/29/19

Hey, these look good. We planted a bunch of them by the garage where we have some tomatoes and beans last year. Partial sun, but they should be OK.

We always grow beans and are looking forward to seeing how these turn out.

There will be more vegetables growing along the garage, but I don't no what yet.

Oh Boy... What to do with Wheat in our Urban Farm, aka small house with small yard.... We decided to use it as a backdrop to our 4 on-one plum tree we graphed. The Wheat is the dark dampened area next to the pavement.
So, from the front of the house you'll have a nice backdrop of 6' tall grass. We are thinking of completing the area with some other shorter grasses.
Talking about what we will do with the seeds. Probably eat them as wheat berries, but we have time to think about it.
PS: In our neighborhood people always stop by to see what strange stuff we are planting now. The word is out!

PS: I need to build a small wall around the area. Everything and everyone is magically drawn to walk on the wheat. I may try the old stick weave.
