Putting Up A Pea Fence


With O Wise One on the injured list the gardening still needs to get in. When you live on the farm with your spouse you quickly learn to pick up each other's slack. The pea fence needed to be put up and those posts sitting next to the garden were not going to drive themselves. I knew that I had to do it or my stubborn husband would be out there trying to with both hands still recovering from second degree burns. The last thing I wanted was him to bust open those wounds. 




So this old woman drove all 22 of them.

 One every 4 feet with a post driver.  I am woman hear me roar! 

I'll be moaning with these shoulders tonight though: )

Honey you can bet me and Mister Ben Gay will be best friends tonight!

  1. What a woman you are!! One after my own heart. Louie and i use to grow our own vegtables but we then moved home, this was a good move for us in the sense of larger home, more land, lovely village, the only downside is the soil is clay, concrete in the summer and like a sponge in the winter.
    I will grow some beans and peas in pots, we are south facing so sun pretty much all day.
    I am so enjoying your blog, i have also come by Katy, her blog being The country blossom, her music playlist is so beautiful.
    Have a lovely day, best wishes jackie x

  4. Good job!!! What a sense of accomplishment! I always feel good when I can do something that hubby usually does. It always frustrates me that it takes me at least twice as long though LOL

    I need to get pea fence, too, because I love fresh peas.

  7. Oh my, that is a lot of posts! My hubby likes to use his loader bucket to drive in posts when he has a lot to do. One person holds and the other lowers the bucket (with care of course). I had wondered how long the rows in your garden were. Now I know.
