NO pics, yet, but I tilled and fenced in 2 beds alongside my front walk recently. Took about 2-3 hours each. I planted in groups of 3, one red geranium in the middle, flanked by a white petunia and a blue lobella in the front. It's patriotic, looks very nice, but, ironically, the BEST vantage is from our upstairs window!

I pounded three 8 ft. metal fence posts in to pull up my sunflowers and tomatoes in the..um..'asparagus' bed. IN the 100+ heat!!

It's hard to see but I strung nylon clothesline at 2 levels, one to support the sunflowers and the other to tie up the tomatoes.
