LOL - use T posts, but make it a "deer" fence (8'+)
plus! We just finished one & it's awesome. Keeps the
deer out & is a GREAT arbor as well. We will cover it with
evergreen vines & it will look great as well. We are running
irrigation around the base today to insure rapid vegetation.

I am getting grief from the neighbor. The fence is on my property, but
she doesn't think she should share any cost. I know I can't make her,
but I would like to know if I am being reasonable.

Replace it with a wire fence.
It's stronger, cheaper and longer lasting. 6' farm fencing and T-posts
requires no digging either. ;-)

Then just plant wild grapes and honeysuckle, and misc. other vines of
your choice to cover it.

It'll last forever. That's what I did and it's quite nice.

Sounds awesome. :-)

Even tho' my fence is only 6' in the back, my dogs running loose inside
the yard seem to discourage deer. I've never had a problem with them and
there is a small herd here in the area.

Evergreen vines?
What are you planting?

The grapes are deciduous but the honeysuckle keeps leaves all winter,
just have not had good coverage with them, and it's taking forever for
the trumpet vines to grow.

Come to BrairCliff you will be assured unless you have 8' fence that the
deer will come
in, especially if you grow roses. Dogs won't keep them out as many dogs
in BrairCliff
run loose as there is NO leash law in that community. But the deer or
multiplying
10 fold and have no fear of humans nor their dogs really.

Carolina Jasmine for one stays green and with full leave all winter long
and all summer. Gets fairly large fairly quickly when planted in the right
location.

Coral Honeysuckle seems to take forever to grow.

Ah yes. I've got some of that out front and it DOES take over indeed!
Gives good coverage too.

Guess I need to transplant all that I rip out out back. G

Yes, it does, but once it gets going, it's fabulous and attracts
hummers! :-)

There is another variety that is similar but with a lighter pink shade.
Apparently
they withstand drought and sun better then the coral honey suckle do. I wish
I could recall the name of them. They have several at my Agility Club is
S. Austin.

I'm very jealous. I sure wish I had some deer in my freezer. Not only for
me but for my dogs. The dogs would get the organs, if only I had some
deer.

Lucky you.

Backstrap is good...

Roast shoulder, young doe, good too!
Stab all over and stuff garlic slivers in the stabs, top with rosemary
and thyme and cover the herbs with cabbage leaves to keep them moist
while the roast cooks. ;-d
