Replacing The Thorny Bushes of Death with Grape Vines  

My wife and I have talked about having our own garden since we were married more than 25 years ago but only in the past couple of years have we had the opportunity to have that dream garden.

Learning to be a gardener is fun, and a bit challenging but we are loving it. We are not doing a whole lot at one time so we don't get discourages.

This year we started ripping, literally, the thorny and dangerous bushes growing on the entire property fence on three sides of our property.

I removed about 10 feet of bushes along the fence and then planted grape vines. They have already grown to the top of the fence and will soon start moving along the fence making for a bit more privacy.

I planted the grape vines about 6 feet apart so I could later add maple trees between them.

We are lovin' this gardening thing so much.
