I'm thinking about planting some Seminole squash. I can't do it inside the fenced garden but I've got a small area, maybe a 20x20 foot area to the east of the garden I could stick some push-in electric fence posts into the ground with a couple of strands of polywire on it attached to the main garden fence, till up a small area and plant the seed. They could ramble around ever how they want to. I'd just have to keep the vines off the fences and my weather station. I'm really not sure that low fence would stop the deer, though. Maybe by now they've got an aversion to messing with the polywire and the psychology of it will keep them out.

I did see a big doe approach the garden the other morning. Saw it out the kitchen window in the yard near the garden. It started walking that way but when out of sight behind some crepe myrtles so I ran to another window...when I got there the doe was running away from the fence area. I don't know if the fence bit her or if something else spooked her. She stopped and looked at the garden and then swung *wide* around it, disappearing over the hill behind it. Maybe the fence is working, eh? I hope she told her friends! Thumbs up
