we are in the process of redoing the fence.(from high tensil to chainlink).
surrounding where we used to have about an acre in garden.
.the flowers around the edge drew in the bees for pollination
the variety of flowers has gone down to only a few but the affect is 
a wow when in bloom and full of butterflies and then birds
