This is our backyard at the Windstone factory in Corvallis Oregon. Isn’t it great? There is a little creek if you keep going towards the big trees. The creek feeds into the Mary’s river, which is at the end of our street.
We thought it would be fun to put in a big vegetable garden for everyone to use.The soil has been nicely tilled up where you see the white arrow, but there is an issue with having a garden here. I couldn’t catch a good photo of the three deer that were standing right there, looking at the newly tilled earth with the same expression a cat has when looking at baby mice, so I drew one in. I swear, those deer KNOW what freshly tilled earth means! They were looking all over that area for the new plants.
We need to install a TALL deer fence! So, I went and priced 8′ deer fencing and posts…OH MY it is expensive!
For what a deer fence costs we could buy all the produce we could eat at the farmer’s market! But that wouldn’t be any fun, would it?
