The Garden - Phase II

In phase one of the garden, we added lime to raise the pH and soil amending compost to break up the clay and improve drainage. Then, after tilling it in, we let the ground sit for weeks to reach equilibrium again. So, we tilled everything in late March following the last winter frost (almost!) and didn't get back out there until late April. Here is the garden area once I put in all the posts as well as a picture of the green deer gate I got (the deer get really aggressive here, especially as the summer browns the wild and peoples' yards are the only green area.
