The boys and I went out to the back fence and cleared away some of the grass (...and blackberry runners...) and dug a couple more holes, this time for the trellising roses to go over the gate. There were not nearly as many rocks this time; of course, there were only half as many holes. And This time I actually remembered to take before and after photos!
The east side of the gate. This is the Claire Austin white rose. I need to nail those two bottom rungs back in place!
The west side, with the pink Strawberry Hill rose. Only the bottom rung needs to be fixed on this side.
I also discovered that under the fence is a line of pavers. So I need to strim along the fence and probably power-wash them.
I also finished grafting the scions onto the apple trees! I've been using a couple of cut up yogurt cups to mark each grafted variety:
And I finished just in time, too, since with the nice weather we've been having, the apples are starting to break dormancy!
