Finishing up the deer fence & the gardening season

Our final workday of the season was one of the coldest, rainiest days yet, but a small group of committed gardeners soldiered through and worked hard to finish stringing the wire across the top of the new deer fence.  The group huddled together to stay out of the wind and rain under a tent generously delivered by Park Ranger Ricardo, and gardeners and volunteers together shared a chilly potluck to celebrate the close of the 2011 gardening season.  Thanks to everybody's hard work, we now have a lot better infrastructure in place to protect the garden from grazing deer, and we look forward to seeing everyone again in 2012!
