My cukes, squash, zukes and green beans have their section of garden fence. Easy to see and get to from both sides of the fence. I don’t know why I plant the peas along the fence since they always seem to want to tangle up within themselves. Peas aren’t as smart as other vegetables. ;) Next year, they may go out in the middle with some short chicken wire or something. I’ll have to think on those.

The tomatoes got an extra two feet this year. The rain knocked the their blooms off. With the enlarged garden area from tiny to small, everything is getting more space so we’ll see how that works.

I planted some cukes too close to the fence one year and the deer helped themselves. Ever since that, I use parts of driveway reinforcement about three feet tall as the fence for them. Re bar support now and then and they do really well.
