Spent the day in the garden proper, and finally fixed the fencing that the bear wrecked back in 2012, after which I planted out the natives in the new native food forest plot.
I had originally planned to erect a temporary fence around the whole business, in order to discourage deer from eating the plants during the critical establishment phase, but I’m running out of long runs of fencing, so I created individual barriers for each plant. There maybe be rain on the horizon, and in any case it’s likely to be cloudy for the next couple of days, which is ideal weather for new plantings. Looking forward to some chokecherry fruit leather in the distant future.
