On my recent visit to the New York Botanical Garden, we also made a visit to the Home Gardening Center, where they have home demonstration vegetable gardens. Since last season, they have had to do more pest control around the gardens and I was surprised to some very familiar barriers:
1. Chicken wire around their post and rail fence.
2. Completely fenced in walls around their new raised beds.
This is exactly what I have had to do this year! Maybe they've been reading my blog for ideas (just kidding).

I am beginning to recognize my clematis now, since I have been visiting. I have the Jackmanii in two places, thanks to you I know what to call it now.

It's been fun to post all of the pictures. I remembered many of the names, but had to look up others.
