Wow! Everything looks amazing! That's a great idea to keep the deer at bay. Let us know how its going as your season progresses!

I have truly been grateful for the help I've received here at TV. You guys are awesome!

Looks great, love the woodwork! Save you $$ and just use the lawn mower to shred the leaves.. I just blow them into a pile and run them over with the mower 4-5 times or so.. Then I just empty the mower bag into leaf bags and store them in the garage for the winter..

Wow! That's a nice little garden. Very, very nice, I think.
