It was fine and I have started making more cages for the tomatoes! Thanks for your information. I appreciate it a lot! I hope all your spring projects are going well.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! I only need to make about 13 more cages for the tomatoes, but I know I will find other things to do with this fence...maybe some thing for vines to climb on to shade the back of the house! hmmmm<br /><br />thank you!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080294648730300241.post-56944606509237314132011-03-18T16:45:48.160-05:002011-03-18T16:45:48.160-05:00That is fence I bought at McCoys although I've...That is fence I bought at McCoys although I've seen it elsewhere. It's what we used to fence in our property as well. I'm not sure what it's called but it has a thick top wire and the spacing is a little smaller at the bottom than the top. The horizontal wires are continuous but the vertical ones are short pieces wrapped around each horizontal.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05590834468436576998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080294648730300241.post-31926702828038366272011-03-18T16:17:01.777-05:002011-03-18T16:17:01.777-05:00Just popped in to see what you are up to I really ...Just popped in to see what you are up to I really noticed the cages you have around your tomatoes in the photo. I have been on a quest to find that type of wire...not easy I guess. Last year I bought a roll of a type of wire (6"x6" squares) that people use to lay in sidewalks for support before pouring cement. It works great, but it is rusty! I have used it all up making cages and want to find a galvanized wire. I bought some at a fence supply place yesterday but it looks a lot more complicated than the stuff you have in you photo. Can you shed any light on what that is called? or how I ask for it? What I bought isn't what I really want.

Mine still seems to be rattling around in my head and I keep thinking, "oh ya, I need to do that too" "and that" etc. I need to get a master list going no matter how long it is so I don't forget something. The only thing I have managed to get done on time is start seedlings (and that is a huge improvement!) I am excited to hear about anything "chicken"! I can't have chickens here (HOA Rules, not mine) so I love hearing about chicken things. I also like seeing your list of things to do - so many different things and so many similar things. Sincerely, Emily<br /><br />P.S. - I haven't even thought about it, so "idiot" hasn't crossed my mind. We are both busy with spring things, just wait until you have time to breath.

We live on 2 acres and have PLENTY of room, but since we don't know what we are doing are garden looks like it belongs in the backyard of one of those cut cutter neighborhoods. <br />I too am excited to hear about your chicken coop!Amandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080294648730300241.post-51437891958029798932011-03-03T09:09:50.101-06:002011-03-03T09:09:50.101-06:00Yep, it gets moved every morning as does the light...Yep, it gets moved every morning as does the light weight pasture fence which (supposedly) keeps them contained. Of course since they're young, it's spring, and their wings aren't clipped about half of them fly over every day to wander around. Hopefully when we clip their wings only 25% will fly over :-) And they do settle down as they age. In spring they love to perch outside at night so 4 or 5 of them find a bush or a tree in the evening. A few nights ago my husband shimmied up the pear tree to retrieve a chicken who had found a roost at 12 feet. She's lucky b/c I would have just let her take her chances at night with the raccoons.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05590834468436576998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080294648730300241.post-74240680375492874552011-03-03T09:02:43.073-06:002011-03-03T09:02:43.073-06:00Wow, I wouldn't know where to start yet, eithe...Wow, I wouldn't know where to start yet, either!
