Garden - Week 20, July 29

We put up a fence! The deer have been getting progressively worse in Southampton and have started really attacking our garden. It's so sad to see plants just chomped off and missing little baby tomatoes. The whole process took about an hour, if even. I really hope it works! There are still some more steps - like pulling up the grass inside and replacing it with gravel or mulch or something. Any suggestions? Is anything weed resistant?
It's actually super low profile. It was hard for me to get a picture where you can really see it. We're thinking of tying some bring orange ribbon or something to parts of it so people (and animals) don't walk right into it.

We don't have a gate really, just kind of a flap with some strings tying it together. I think this will get old quickly, but Jamie is buying some carabiners that he think will do the trick. We'll see. 
Toons was very confused. 
There it is! The garden and the 8' tall deer fence! And my wonderful hubby cleaning up all the dead snap pea vines. Thanks, Jamie!! You're so strong!
