My Latest Vegetable Garden Fantasy

Our current front yard - not bad, but could use some improvement

Maybe some day:fenced veg garden with arbor, new driveway with block edging, house facelift

Fence complete

I am so happy to have our old fence out and the new one in.  Unfortunately I am not too fond of how they assembled the posts in relationship to the panels.  I wanted the posts to be 6' tall and the panels to sit between the posts (not have the fence panels run continuous on one side of the posts).  The posts were cut short (which probably looks great for the OTHER side) but looks pretty dopey on our side. Anyway, it is still a darn nice fence.
The big question now is how to deal with the tangled mess that was left on the neighbor's side of the fence that we eliminated.  Honestly, I'm kind of scared to start the cleanup.  That heap of twigs and old vines looks like it could be a fox den.

Oh, but what a difference:

view from deck after (but still before cleanup and new planting)

Dreaming of a new fence

Existing rear fence to be replaced by the 6'-0" white cedar dog-ear shadow-box.  We are adding a 3'-0" wide gate so that we can actually talk to our neighbors once in a while.

Side fence to be removed completely.  Our side yard neighbor has bamboo against the fence which is pretty dense - just as effective as a fence:

 

We got a quote this morning and it is within our budget.  I can't wait!  Proposed fence (provided we can get the fence permit);
