It will be fun to think of her beans growing in Maine!!<br /><br />I hear you on the gate being left open, and the hubby from town who has the fortune or "misfortune" to meet a crazy farm girl!!

If you have any extra seed of Veda's purp...Wow,<br />If you have any extra seed of Veda's purple bean, I would LOVE to have a few and grow some for our Veda to carry on.<br />Our fence problems are totally because of that temp wire, stretched across 25 acres with grass shorting it out. We do have a 12 volt marine battery, there is no electricity down there so we use battery/ solar chargers. The fence is crap. My poor husband is trying to put the whole thing in 5 wires of high tensile, the perimeter anyway, but just getting the end and corner posts in and braced is slow going especially when we have had non stop raining and the holes are full of water. You are right though, the 2-3 acres we have in 12 guauge metal wire, NO ONE gets out of unless someone forgets to shut the gate.........Jessikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140335698817090274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666832117222969242.post-6665969418915155622009-07-06T01:37:06.079-04:002009-07-06T01:37:06.079-04:006 pounds this week - that is great! You are motiv...6 pounds this week - that is great! You are motivating me to lose some weight - Thanks.<br /><br />BTW, my gardening mentor/surrogate grandmother's name was Veda. I grow a purple pole bean from her, that I have began calling Veda's purple bean, since the variety name got lost some time ago.<br /><br />On the cows getting out, when we switched to a low-impedance Pel charger and got rid of the expensive Intellirope from Premier, and used a single strand of 17 gauge steel wire our cows magically started staying in. Even with tall grass we have not had the aggravation that we used to have. I think the polywire made us feel better because we could see it, but the filament wires seem like a weak point and didn't pack the punch that we needed. Some of our fences are powered by a 12volt marine/RV battery and some are electric - both work equally well. It's amazing how well everyone behaves now!! I hate that feeling when I hear someone bawling in the wrong place or getting that phone call!!Throwback at Trapper Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418370592659531735noreply@blogger.com
