The veggie garden is about 10' away from our driveway so I see it every day as I leave for work and when I get home afterward. After work yesterday, I went to check out the beans to see if we had more flowers. Sure enough, we do and that's a wonderful development.
What I noticed next is what has me over the moon.
We have some deer-inflicted damage on the bean vines that are sticking outside the fencing right up to about 5' above-ground.
This means that my assertion that we really really really really really needed a deer-resistant/proof fence was valid.
You see for the last year, I've been met with a lot of skepticism whenever I've explained what size of fencing I had in mind. I've also received more than my fair share of good-natured flak from our neighbor, Wifey, my parents, her parents, and our friends when they've seen the fence. To a man (and woman), I've seen them all have the expression of, "Yep. I knew he'd crack one of these days....." the first time they see the fence. Comments vary, but they all have a common theme:
"Are you sure you need something that big?"Yup. That I do.
I'm not going to gloat over it, but it sure is nice to see that my preparedness was warranted.
