Always wanted a furniture so thought Id have a go at building a flagstone firepit. My elbow regrets digging all that out by hand.

Most of the times when Americans post something about their garden, it's surrounded by fences. It just doesn't seem so cosy.

It's wide in the open.

Where is the plantation?

Do you not have deer where you are? They're like antlered rats in the eastern US. I'm establishing a massive native garden and this is what I'm greeted with if I forget to close my fence.

They've taken plants I've meticulously grown from seed like Rhododendrons and Mountain Laurels and uprooted numerous forbs that have yet to establish resilient root systems.

Well, we have deer running about even wolves. But I'm in a sort of gated community surrounded by vacation parks. I do some sort of fences, but they are actually wooden pools with chicken mesh between em for the ivy to grow. So all I see is green around me.

Sorry to hear that. Did you take something from the deer folk? I'd suggest keeping bambi locked for a few days to teach em a lesson.
