It's been so long since the guys have been here to work that morning glory has taken over the entire backyard. We didn't plant it, we don't water it and damned if we know where it came from. And yet it thrives, and thrives and thrives. I have to fight to keep it out of the back vegetable patch and that's about all I have the energy to do with it.
Why can't my pepper plants be such enthusiastic growers?
And sturdy!
Yep, that's our gate listing to the side when I try to open it.
Someone hit one of the posts when they were turning around in our driveway and it hasn't been the same since. Not that it was great to begin with, but at least it kept the dogs in the yard.
We're replacing it with a classic picket fence covered in climbing roses. For now, we're just doing the very front piece of the fence so we can get rid of the ghetto gate before it completely falls apart. Later on we'll do the sides of the front yard, but probably leave the chain link in the back.
The new gate will be motorized with a remote, but the motor won't actually work until we redo the electricity -- which is at least a couple of more months away.
