One thing I notice about living in the country is that fence building becomes part of your daily routine. That right there is an Almond tree.

This is a picture of my Fence Building Tool box, before re-filling. It's a padded shipping box that may be familiar looking to some



Actually, that particular size & shape of padded shipping box might help me FINALLY organize my wrenches, sockets, etc.

Just added some cotton string. I notice that cotton string has gotten WAY more expensive. You can easily pay $2.50 for a spool of cotten string.

I like to get them at the dollar store.

I have a small apple tree that is finally getting going, but it's leaning which puts it close to the deer's mouth.

I could build a "leaning tower of whatever' deer fence to protect it. Anyway, that why I went to get the cotton string, to pull the Winesap apple tree back towards the center of its space.

They were 100% stripped & devoured last year. I only had a 3 foot high fence. All summer long, the deer were eating them down to nothing.

I am very pleased that about 80% of the abused trees are sending out buds and sprouts. Now I have to do my part of the job and give them 6 foot fences.

The fences are a foot off the ground so the chickens can get in there and scratch and POOP.

So here I am in the spring setting up my apple trees' chicken poop buffet for the summer.
