Sage, the new fence has the hollow round ones. The old ones are more flat, and pointed at the end. They held up a flimsy grapestick fence which finally tumbled down, and my neighbors and I went with split on the new one: I paid for materials and he did the labor. I think I got the better end of the deal; he dug out those bushes anmd they were monstrous!I guess, since I have three of them, I could tie them together and try beans or vines or something. A lot of overgrown bushes came out when the new fence went in, so there is actually room by the fence. :)

It would be nice to get my taxes donw early. I just sweat blood over them.
