This is Rita's fence I made last summer. Finally with the snow it's easy to camera see.

                          There is a small foot traffic gate to the left and a drive through on the right.        

                                                    It is a pleasure to use and live with.

             

On the cutting board is a watermelon I grew from seed saved from a local farm stand . The foliage alone was worth growing. Unlike the squashes that it mingled with this plant didn't have any bugs,

Grown from saved seed. The plan; last year this time and the success this year. One full calender circle. Very rewarding!

Kortney of the Quartz

Kortney was given to us by our neighbor Pete last year. For all her glory she stands only 18" tall. She could fill the Palace Royal in Paris. She serves the Quarts too.
