Planted

I got plants yesterday to put in the garden. I can’t wait to get at it!

I haven’t had overwhelming success with tomatoes yet, but I got several different kinds to try this year. Two of them are supposed to be good for container gardens, so that will help with my space issues. I’m also going to try some leeks. I have had great luck with peppers of all kinds–I hope saying that doesn’t jinx me–so I got several sweet peppers and some cayenne peppers.

I’m planning to spend my weekend in the garden, but you never know what will disrupt my plans. The best-laid schemes and all that.

I really need to get some fence put up for the horses. The current pasture fence is beyond pathetic and I want to replace it. Plus I want to fence off a smaller area inside that so I can make it a dry lot to keep the boys off the grass. I just keep waffling about what would be easiest to do first.

I have no idea how to actually build a fence. That’s problem number one. Problem number two is that I can’t decide exactly what I want. I’d like a good woven wire fence all the way around the perimeter, where the awful fence is now. Then I could section it off with electric fence. But if I take down the current fence to build a new one, where will I put the boys while I’m working on it? Or should I put up the electric fence and keep them in there while I replace the perimeter?

I’m paralyzed by the questions!
