Thankful Sunday

 I am thankful for gardening advice.

Cucumber trellis in Uncle Billy's garden

Ward built a deer and rabbit fence around our garden area, and it has helped. It has also expanded the area available for plantings. Now I have to design how to best use the additional space. I want to do some raised beds to take me into the future, when the back and knee issues will be hindering. These will not be easy to move once in place, so I need a plan. It's a big project that seems overwhelming. 

I asked Uncle Billy to walk around his garden to look at spacing and get his advice on various plants since he has been doing this for a long time. Of course, there is a lot of information available online, but it's not the same as seeing and hearing things in person. 

So, as I make my garden plans, I am thankful to Uncle Billy for sharing his wisdom with me.
