My friends used the rubbery safety fencing -I'm not much for that look either, but they went to HD and found that and I photographed it.<br /><br />Funny, everyone always has something to say about garden choices!Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554893883207752597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296442124707185645.post-55146324410362111462010-06-08T16:53:10.702-05:002010-06-08T16:53:10.702-05:00my tomato boxes a al frank are in use & attrac...my tomato boxes a al frank are in use & attracting lots of attention in the community garden. partly because the only large-gridded fencing i could find is orange snow fencing. bad choice, as it splits easily if you hit it with a staple--or just snag it whilst moving in the garden.<br /><br />one of the garden "elders" pooh-pooh'ed them but he pooh-poohs most everything i say or do, it seems. 14 square was a bit large for this small space but would be fine otherwise. makes room for lettuce now.<br /><br />thanks for the idea.donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659999755051008318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296442124707185645.post-31069383631326044762010-06-07T17:40:12.132-05:002010-06-07T17:40:12.132-05:00Prickly prickly.

They're supposed to taste like cucumber and seem to be the only not-prickly part...Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086277483606295046noreply@blogger.com
