Garden: Vines and the Noah Grape

In the first couple of years here we often saw deer walking through the garden, and caught them nibbling on the conveniently nose high fresh growth of the raspberries or peas from time to time.

We erected an emergency and very ugly temporary wire fence around the potager with the intention of making a rather more elegant structure in due course. Or at least covering the wire mesh with sweet peas and morning glories, or perhaps a rampant clematis or trumpet vine.

The saggy wire fence shows up well in the snow. 2013
