RE: Building an eight foot deer fence

in Homesteading2 years ago

Looking good! You have been exceedingly busy and now the place is exploding with activity! Don't be surprised to find a deer in your fenced-in area. As you know, they can fly like they are carrying Santa's sleigh.

I planted my nut trees first because they take so long to mature. Even one or two to get started. I have 17 black walnuts and 17 pecan trees. They bear heavily! I want to put a couple of butternut trees in, I love the sweet buttery flavor of them. I plant peaches everywhere I go, and they bear fruit after the first year. Yay!

I am really excited for you and it looks like you are in business there!

Good luck!

Thanks much, yep things are speeding up now and will get pretty crazy for the next few months building all this out.

Ah okay, well if they do get in I plan on opening the gates so they can escape gracefully. Haha!

Oh nice, I plan on starting some fruit and nut trees. But this 1/3 acre is going to be only annuals for now. Next to the fenced in area I may expand later on and fence in the rest of the clearing to add more long term fruit and nut trees. Hoping we can do that next year.

Nice, I need to find some peach trees that flower later. My peach tree in Georgia would flower too early, frost would kill buds and fruits would rarely form. I think I need the freestone variety.

Best of luck with all your fruit and nut trees.
