I'm not worried about the weeds. The blueberry bed's going to get mulched soon anyway. It needs to be fenced over the winter because otherwise, the rabbits nibble down this year's new shoots.
The fence was fine over the summer while we had all that drought, but then the rain came back in fall and all of a sudden the fence turned green! Can vinyl fence be pressure washed? (Does anyone know the best psi?) If tonight's freeze is temporary and we get above freezing temps back, maybe that'll be the way to go.
I have tree seeds (3 kinds of acorns, Halesia, and Tulip poplar) planted in the black nursery pots to winter over and sprout in spring if all goes well. Hoping squirrels and chipmunks won't find them. I'm planning to make chickenwire box for them but haven't had the chance yet so they're inside "maximum security" double fenced area for now....
