I put the electric fence up around the sweet corn today. Back’s a bit sore from driving T-posts into dry ground. Good to have it done though. Ears are starting to form and the raccoons would be tearing into it any day now. And for those who have only seen electric fences on TV, I want to let you know that this is not the kind of electric fence that fries critters to a crisp. It shocks them enough to make them run away and find something else to eat. At least that’s how it’s supposed to work.
