On Sunday my main tasks were to build a trellis for my peas so that they may grow up to be happy peas and to build a fence that would keep the rabbits from eating everything. They ate my broccoli seedlings, some zinnias, and all but one green bean plant.
For the trellis, I used 4 36 in wood posts. I used L brackets on 2 of the posts, though I will shore up the other two when I have time. Then I draped a nylon trellis net over the posts and used a staple gun to secure the net to the posts.
For the rabbit proof fence I used 6 36 in wood posts, 24 feet of chicken wire and a heavy duty staple gun.
Lots of pictures below, but I am proud of my work.

: heroes should indeed be courageous and admired. However, they should also be compassionate and selfless - two characteristics that Molly fails to exhibit in her decision to run away.chain link fence repair
