My seeds are ordered and should arrive soon, from Seed Savers. Some seeds are saved from the previous year.
This year I want to get cattle panels for my cucs, pole beans and squash, I usually would plant those next to the fence but the deer ate the vines last year before they grew enough to survive. The squirrel population has exploded and they eat the sunflowers before they can completely flower. I'd love to see what others have done with cattle panels in their gardens.

I use cattle panel trellises for beans, too, but couldn't find a clear photo.

And they can be used to protect plants from cold weather.

Gardener Scott on YouTube is where I learned about making trellises from cattle panels.

You can skip to 2:45 which is where he starts creating a trellis.

I think I've already shared about the wood in my raised beds rotting away after two years. I started rebuilding them with "cinder" blocks.

But I ran out of blocks, and didn't want to put wear & tear on my little SUV.

When I retired I received my accrued PTO (vacation/sick time) in my last paycheck. I decided to invest it in my garden rebuilds.

The blocks were delivered today.

I made cattle panel trellises for my garden boxes last year, I love them.
