Worth, try using a roller to do a little at a time then hit it with the brush to get the spots the roller misses. Thats how I do mine and it goes much faster.

Why do y'all fence the entire garden in? Beale.

I'm not fencing in the garden.

By the way I changed my mind on the lattice and came up with another idea instead.
The lattice was too closed in and didn't fit what I wanted.

I decided to do this instead of the lattice.
What do you think, a little outlandish?

Worth, I love that huge succulent? to the left of the arbor. WAAAY COOL!
The arbor looks great, too. Well done. I think your second idea was way better, too.

Very nice, Worth.
But there is more to be done before you can call it Garden of Eden.

Worth it looks different in the right way. I see an oriental look.

Good call dude. I like your aesthetic. Definite improvement on the lattice.

Here it is, I'm finished.
The grid in top is in four removable panels so it is easy to get to.
I have gourds planted in one of the beds if the slugs don't eat the seedlings I might just have a gourd arbor this year.

As much as I liked the lattice, I think the second idea looks even better. Great looking addition to your yard!

It looks really nice. The top made me think of that pic of the squash.

Salt that picture of the squash made me do the top.
I have an assortment of gourds planted if the slugs don't get them.
Thanks.

That is a very nice job Worth! I'd like to see it in August. By the way, how many times have you got yourself stuck by that monster planted at the entrance to the arbor?

Too many to count.
Yesterday I backed into it coming down the ladder.
Today the same thing.
And I had my hard toothed rake leaned against a tree and stepped on it.
It whacked me up side the head right above the eyebrow and left a knot.

The huge agave runs the place his name is Mr Ripples.
