The fence panels and posts arrived yesterday morning. I was so excited when I saw the truck! The HH was even more excited because he knew he didn’t have to install them. 🙂
We ended up going with a 4 foot high Nantucket style {cedar} fence. Four feet seemed like the perfect height to us. Not too tall, not too short. It will probably take me all summer to get the whole fence stained on both sides but that’s okay.
I do love staining fences. Especially outside in the warm sunshine. It’s so relaxing to me.
Once the fence is fully installed I’ll be able to get all the perennials I’ve been collecting planted and Lucy will be able to hang out in the vegetable garden with me.
Look how much bigger the backyard looks now with the fence installed. It’s crazy!! I told the HH we totally have room for a few more raised garden beds and he just shook his head at me. HA HA HA.
Today they’ll work on the front fence and then the gates and with a little luck the whole thing will be done by the weekend. I love fences. And I love defined spaces.
And you know what else I love?
Delphiniums! I picked up a few pots at Market Basket and I absolutely LOVE the purpley blue color of the flowers.
These will be the first delphiniums I’ve ever planted in a garden before and I’d love to have more. Have you ever grown delphiniums from seed before? Are they easy to grow?
I’m sure it’s too late to start seeds this year, but if they’re easy to grow I think I’d like to grow a patch of them next year. Planting and painting. That’s what I’ll be doing all summer. And that’s fine by me.
Here’s hoping today is another productive day here in Maine.
Peace Out.
