Jutta’s Former Garden in New Jersey
Hi GPODers!
At some point, most of us have had to or will have to say goodbye to a garden we’ve spent years building and improving. Some houses can be hoisted up, dropped onto a trailer, and moved to a new location, but the same technology, unfortunately, cannot be used for a garden. If we’re lucky, some plants can be dug up and moved to a new property, but it’s unlikely that every plant will survive that transplanting process, and some are simply too large to move. At Garden Photo of the Day, we love to celebrate those gardens that have been left behind, and today Andrea in Leesburg, Virginia is introducing us to her and her mother’s gardening skills by sharing the very special garden that her mom said goodbye to after over 50 years of labor and love. Jutta created this sensational space in Blackwood, New Jersey before moving to be close to her daughter in Virginia, but was able to utilize some of the plants she tended for decades as the basis for the garden they now work on together.
My name is Andrea and I live in Northern Virginia (7b) where I’m lucky to garden with my mother, Jutta, who lives nearby and has been gardening for some 60 years. As longtime fans of GPOD, we thought it was time to contribute and thought we’d start by sharing photos from Mom’s former 50+ year-old garden in Blackwood, New Jersey (Zone 7a), which she built from scratch. Leaving her home and garden in 2020 was hard, but Mom and I planned ahead and over the months preceding her move transplanted many car loads of her favorite perennials and some containerized trees and shrubs into my then-nascent garden in VA. Over the past six years Mom has created at her VA home a modest but gorgeous garden that was featured in a community magazine, and together she and I have created at my home an expansive garden that is our labor of love and favorite place to spend time together. Our VA garden has evolved beautifully from the initial transplants from Mom’s NJ garden and we look forward to sharing photos of it soon. In the meantime, here are some photos of the NJ garden that started it all.
Rhododendrons, azaleas, and other evergreens formed the backbone of the front garden bed and were set off by dwarf dahlias, marigolds, roses, daylilies, cleome, a white Bolero rose (Rosa ‘Meidelweis’, Zones 5–9), and a mandevilla climbing the porch post.
Annuals and tropicals in containers brightened the garage area. The oleander shrubs (Nerium oleander, Zones 8–10) in the back were overwintered in the garage each year.
Heucheras and annuals added color to a planting bed until other plants filled in. A Japanese ‘Steeds’ holly (Ilex crenata ‘Steeds’, Zones 5–9) and unknown rose anchored the bed.
More potted heucheras and annuals—along with planted Hakonechloa grass (Hakonechloa macra, Zones 5–9) and daylilies—covered the roots of a large Silver maple tree (Acer saccharinum, Zones 3–9) which started as a volunteer seedling.
Red and pink Knockout roses (Rosa ‘Radrazz’ and ‘Radcon’, Zones 5–11) on the far right and far left of the photo anchored a bed along the side of the house, along with an old dark pink shrub rose, peonies, and a native blue false indigo (Baptisia australis, Zones 3–9).
Railroad ties supported the sloped portion of the backyard, where a mixed border of evergreen and deciduous trees screened rear neighbors. The perennial bed in front included meadow rue, daylilies, and hosta.
The old picnic table and benches on the rear patio always supported a vast, colorful container garden of annuals, as well as succulents in hypertufa containers that Jutta made.
A favorite red Japanese maple purchased as a whip and grown in a container is among the many transplants now in our Virginia garden. Here it stands out among hosta, variegated creeping phlox (Phlox stolonifera ‘Variegata’, Zones 5–9), a heuchera, and a pot of hardy orchids (Bletilla striata, Zones 5–9).
An expansive backyard shade garden featured a tapestry of hakonechloa grass, hosta, astilbe, Japanese painted fern (Athyrium niponicum var. pictum, Zones 3–8), foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea, Zones 4–9), and creeping jenny (Lysimachia nummularia, Zones 3–8).
Thank you so much for sharing your mom’s fabulous former plant paradise with us, Andrea! It must have been devastating to leave behind this space that such beauty was cultivated in, but I know the move only created new gardening possibilities. I cannot wait to see photos of the new garden you created together.

The purpose of the first part of this book is to make you familiar with the plants around you that can be used in place of doctor visits, emergency room trips, visits to your dentist, and even for food if you need it. Did you ever wonder how great-great grandma and her family survived, living way out in the country where there were no hospitals or doctors and the dentist was the circuit riding preacher or peddler? These people had a working knowledge of the land and the plants that God gave us. Some of it they learned from their parents and some of it they acquired from the native peoples, like the Indians, where they lived. This knowledge saved many lives and made their aches and pains much easier. Backyard Pharmacy is intended to make you comfortably familiar with simple herbs that grow in the countryside around you. If you do not live where they are, learn anyway. Maybe your friends will have them in their backyards or woods. At the present we can all order the dried forms of these from herb companies like the ones listed in the supplies area of the book. But fresh ones work best and someday other sources may not be available for us. I, for one, want to know where to find the things I need and be knowledgeable in how to use them. Learn along with me and be pleasantly surprised at how much �weeds� can do. As you try new remedies, know that no one remedy works for every person. If one herb does not work for you, try a different one. You will likely find another herb that works better for you. Know that if you do go to the doctor and tell him the remedy that you were using, he will likely scoff openly. He does not usually know anything about herbs, especially the ones that have never been covered in the medical journals. So do not despair, thinking that you are making a huge mistake since your doctor does not know what burdock or dandelion can do for the body.

Air Fryer Buffalo Salmon Bites (Easy 10 Minute Dinner)
These air fryer buffalo salmon bites are one of the easiest ways to make salmon exciting. The salmon gets cut into cubes, tossed with a little seasoning and buffalo sauce, and cooks in the air fryer in about 10 minutes. They’re bold, flavorful, and incredibly versatile. We’ll pile them onto salads, tuck them into tacos, or serve them in simple bowls with rice and veggies for a quick dinner.
I make a lot of salmon recipes and a lot of buffalo recipes, so this combination happened pretty naturally in our house. When I want everyone to be excited about salmon, coating it in a flavor we already love usually does the trick. These buffalo salmon bites have become a regular, especially in the summer when I don’t want to turn on the oven or stand over the stove. Cutting the salmon into cubes helps it cook quickly in the air fryer, which makes this one of those easy dinners that actually works on busy nights.
If you love bold buffalo flavors, you might also enjoy some of my other quick recipes like buffalo chicken bites, buffalo chicken tacos, buffalo tuna salad, or air fryer buffalo cauliflower. They all come together quickly and make weeknight dinners feel a little more exciting without adding extra work.

Ingredient Spotlight
This is not a complete list of ingredients, but a quick spotlight on a few important ingredients. The full list of ingredients is in the recipe card below.
- Skinless Salmon – I prefer using salmon with the skin removed for this recipe. It makes the bites easier to cut into cubes and helps the buffalo sauce coat the salmon evenly.
- Buffalo Sauce – Using a pre-made buffalo sauce keeps this recipe quick and simple. It’s something I almost always have on hand, and it adds bold flavor without any extra work. Don’t have any on hand? Make your own homemade buffalo sauce.
Step by step instructions
Tips for success
- You can bake this instead of air frying – Bake the salmon bites in a 425°F oven for about 9–10 minutes if you prefer not to use the air fryer.
- Use a bowl to toss the sauce – Transfer the cooked salmon to a bowl before adding the buffalo sauce so it coats evenly and you don’t waste any sauce.
- If your salmon has skin on – It’s easier to cook the fillet whole, then flake the salmon and toss it with buffalo sauce after cooking.
★ Did you make this recipe? Please give it a star rating below!
-
Cut the salmon into bite size pieces. Add salmon to a bowl with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and stir well to coat.
1.25 pounds salmon, ½ tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
Cook salmon in air fryer at 400F for 6 minutes (or you can bake in a 425F oven for 9-10 minutes)
-
When the salmon is done cooking, pour the buffalo sauce over the top.
¼ cup buffalo sauce
- Toss the salmon with a little oil first. Coating the salmon with a small amount of olive oil helps the seasoning stick and prevents the salmon from sticking to the air fryer basket.
- Add the buffalo sauce after cooking. Cook the salmon first, then toss it with buffalo sauce. This keeps the salmon from burning and gives the bites the best texture.
- Use skinless salmon if possible. Skinless salmon is recommended since it’s hard to take the skin off the small pieces of salmon after cooking.

How to Use Buffalo Salmon Bites
We use these a lot of different ways.
My favorite is adding them to a big salad with ranch dressing.
They’re also great in tacos with a quick slaw, or tossed into a simple rice bowl with veggies for an easy dinner.
22 DIY Cheap Fence Ideas for Garden
A simple garden fence can do more than just mark the edges of your backyard. It can add privacy to your space, protect your garden from animals, and even support climbing plants.
Before you grab the shovel and start digging around the garden, it’s worth considering a few affordable options.
It’s always helpful to be economical in gardening, since the cost of fertilizers, soil, and fancy pots can go up anytime.
The effort to build things on your own using old pallets, branches, or wire makes the garden feel even more special and fascinating.
And you don’t have to stick to just one design while building a garden fence.
Below are some cheap fence ideas you can try in your garden.
Many of them can be made using simple materials like branches, pallets, wire, or recycled wood, making them easy and affordable for most gardeners.
22 DIY Cheap Fence Ideas for your Backyard
Sometimes all your garden needs is a simple fence to make the space feel more organized and protected.
A DIY fence can help keep animals away from your plants, define garden beds, and add a bit of charm to the backyard.
1. Branch Fence
A branch fence is one of the most natural and inexpensive ways to protect your garden. It blends beautifully with the outdoor environment and helps keep small animals away from your vegetables and flowers.
To build a branch fence, start by collecting a few sturdy branches from your yard or nearby trees. Push thicker branches or wooden stakes firmly into the soil at equal distances to create the main supports for the fence.
Next, place thinner branches horizontally between the stakes or weave them through the supports to create a simple barrier. You can tie them with garden twine or wire to keep them secure. This easy fence can be adjusted in height depending on how much protection your plants need.
2. Pallet Garden Fence
A pallet fence is a simple and affordable way to create a strong boundary around your garden. Wooden pallets are easy to find and can help protect your plants from animals while also giving the garden a neat and organized look. This type of fence works well for vegetable patches and small backyard gardens.
To build a pallet fence, start by collecting a few wooden pallets in good condition. Place them upright around the area you want to fence and measure the spacing so the pallets form a continuous barrier.
Next, push wooden stakes into the ground behind the pallets and secure them using screws or strong wire. If needed, you can trim the pallets or add extra boards to adjust the height and make the fence more stable.

3. Bamboo Fence
A bamboo fence is a great option if you want something lightweight, natural, and affordable. It gives the garden a clean and simple look while still creating a clear boundary around your plants. Bamboo also works well for supporting small climbers and keeping pets or small animals away from delicate vegetables.
To build a bamboo fence, start by placing sturdy wooden stakes or thick bamboo poles into the ground around your garden bed. Make sure the stakes are evenly spaced so the fence will look neat and stay stable.
Next, attach thinner bamboo sticks horizontally or vertically between the stakes. You can tie them using garden twine, wire, or zip ties to keep everything secure. Adjust the spacing depending on how much protection your plants need.
4. Chicken Wire Garden Fence
A chicken wire fence is one of the most practical and inexpensive ways to protect a garden. The small mesh openings help keep rabbits and other small animals away from your plants while still allowing sunlight and airflow. It’s a simple solution that works well for vegetable gardens.
To build this fence, start by placing wooden or metal stakes around the edges of your garden. Push the stakes firmly into the ground so they can support the wire properly.
Next, roll out the chicken wire along the stakes and attach it using staples, nails, or strong wire. Make sure the bottom of the mesh touches the ground or is slightly buried to prevent animals from slipping underneath the fence.
5. Rope Garden Fence
Use simple rope to create a light and decorative border around your garden. This type of fence is useful for marking garden beds and keeping people from stepping on plants. It also adds a simple and natural look to the backyard.
To build this fence, place wooden stakes or small posts into the ground around the garden bed. Keep equal distance between each post so the rope can stay tight and neat.
Next, tie a strong rope between the posts. You can run the rope in one or two rows depending on the height you want. Pull the rope tight and secure the knots so the fence stays in place.
6. Log Border Fence
Take small logs or thick wooden pieces to create a sturdy and natural border around your garden beds. This type of fence helps keep soil, mulch, and plants contained within the bed while clearly marking the garden area.
To build a log border fence, start by collecting small logs or thick branches of similar size. Arrange them along the edge of your garden bed either vertically like short posts or horizontally to form a low barrier.
Next, dig a shallow trench along the border and place the logs firmly into the soil. Pack the soil back around them to hold them in place. If needed, add a few wooden stakes behind the logs to provide extra support and keep the border stable over time.
7. Wire Garden Fence
Unlike chicken wire, a wire garden fence usually uses stronger welded wire or hardware mesh, which makes it more durable and sturdy. The thicker wire provides better protection against larger animals while still keeping the garden open and airy.
To build this fence, start by placing wooden or metal stakes around the edges of your garden bed. Make sure the stakes are firmly pushed into the ground and spaced evenly so the fence will stay stable.
Next, unroll the wire mesh and attach it to the stakes using nails, staples, or strong wire ties. Keep the bottom of the mesh close to the ground or bury it slightly in the soil to prevent animals from getting underneath the fence.

8. Woven Twig Fence
A woven twig fence is a natural and decorative way to create a border around your garden. It adds a rustic look and blends well with plants, making the garden feel more organic.
To build this fence, place sturdy wooden stakes or thick branches into the ground at regular intervals around the garden bed. These stakes will act as the main support for the woven structure.
Next, collect flexible twigs or thin branches and weave them horizontally between the stakes. Continue weaving until you reach the desired height. Press the twigs tightly together so the fence becomes strong and stable.
9. Recycled Door Fence
A recycled door fence is a creative way to reuse old wooden doors while building a sturdy garden barrier. It adds a unique and decorative look to the backyard and works well for creating a clear boundary around the garden.
To build this fence, start by collecting one or more old wooden doors. Decide the layout around your garden and measure the spacing where each door will stand.
Next, place wooden posts firmly into the ground and attach the doors to the posts using strong screws or hinges. If needed, trim the doors to adjust the height or width so they fit neatly around the garden area.
10. Stone Border Fence
A stone border fence is one of the most durable and natural-looking ways to define a garden space. Stones help keep soil and mulch inside the bed while also creating a strong boundary around plants. This type of fence blends well with almost any garden style and requires very little maintenance.
To build a stone border, start by digging a shallow trench along the edge of your garden bed. This helps keep the stones stable and prevents them from shifting over time.
Next, place medium-sized stones along the trench, arranging them tightly next to each other. Press them firmly into the soil and add smaller stones between gaps if needed to make the border stronger and more stable.
11. Split Rail Garden Fence
A split rail fence gives the garden a simple countryside look while still creating a clear boundary around the space. It is useful for marking garden areas and guiding foot traffic so people don’t step on plants.
Start by placing sturdy wooden posts into the ground around the garden. Keep a consistent distance between the posts so the rails can sit evenly.
Then slide or attach long wooden rails between the posts. You can stack two or three rails depending on the height you want. Secure them with screws or nails if needed so the fence stays stable.

12. Metal Grid Fence
A metal grid fence is a neat and modern way to protect garden beds. The grid pattern keeps animals away while still allowing climbing plants to grow along the fence. It’s also strong and can last for many years with very little maintenance.
To build it, place metal or wooden posts around the garden area and push them firmly into the soil.
Next, attach metal grid panels or wire grid sheets to the posts using wire ties or screws. Make sure the panels are tight and straight so the fence stays strong and looks tidy.
13. Lattice Garden Fence
A lattice fence is a simple way to add both protection and style to your garden. The crisscross pattern creates a light barrier that keeps pets away while still allowing air and sunlight to reach the plants. It also works well as a support for climbing plants like beans or small vines.
To build it, place wooden posts firmly into the ground around the garden bed. Then attach ready-made lattice panels to the posts using screws or nails. Make sure the panels are straight and secured tightly.
14. Garden Netting Fence
A garden netting fence is a lightweight and affordable option for protecting plants. It is especially useful for keeping birds, rabbits, and small animals away from vegetables. Since the material is light, it is easy to install and remove when needed.
Start by placing wooden or metal stakes around your garden area. Once the stakes are in place, stretch the garden netting along them. Secure the netting using zip ties, wire, or garden clips, making sure the bottom stays close to the ground.
15. PVC Pipe Garden Fence
A PVC pipe fence is a lightweight and affordable way to create a protective border around your garden. It doesn’t rust, is easy to handle, and can last for years outdoors. This type of fence works well for small vegetable beds and can also support light climbing plants.
Start by pushing short pieces of PVC pipe or wooden stakes into the ground around the garden bed. Space them evenly so the frame stays balanced. Then connect horizontal PVC pipes between the posts and secure them using connectors or strong ties.
16. Old Ladder Fence
An old ladder can be turned into a unique and useful garden fence. It adds a creative touch to the garden while also acting as a barrier for small spaces. The ladder steps can even support small climbing plants.
To make this fence, place old wooden ladders upright along the garden edge. Push wooden stakes into the ground behind the ladders for support. Then secure the ladders to the stakes using screws or strong wire so they stay steady.
17. Corrugated Metal Fence
A corrugated metal fence is strong, durable, and good for protecting garden beds. The metal panels create a solid barrier that helps block animals and wind. It also gives the garden a slightly modern and structured look.
Start by installing wooden or metal posts around the garden bed. Once the posts are stable, place corrugated metal sheets between them. Attach the sheets to the posts using screws, making sure the panels are aligned properly.
18. Garden Trellis Fence
A trellis fence is useful because it works as both a fence and a plant support. It helps protect the garden while giving climbing plants like cucumbers, beans, or peas a place to grow. This makes the garden look fuller and more productive.
To build it, place wooden or metal posts into the ground around the garden. Then attach trellis panels or wooden cross pieces between the posts. Secure them with screws or nails so the structure stays firm.
19. Wooden Stake Fence
A wooden stake fence is a simple way to create a low barrier around garden beds. It helps define the space and can keep small pets or animals from stepping into your plants. The natural wood also blends nicely with the garden.
Start by cutting wooden stakes to a similar height. Push them into the soil along the edge of the garden bed, keeping them close together. Use a small hammer if needed to secure them firmly in the ground.
20. Rope and Post Fence
A rope and post fence is an easy way to mark the borders of your garden. It doesn’t block the view and works well for keeping people from stepping into planted areas. It also adds a simple decorative touch to the yard.
Begin by placing small wooden posts around the garden area. Leave equal space between each post. Then tie a strong rope between the posts and pull it tight before securing the knots.

21. Bamboo Screen Fence
A bamboo screen fence is a quick way to add privacy and protection to your garden. It creates a natural barrier while still looking light and decorative. Bamboo is also durable and works well in outdoor conditions.
Install wooden or metal posts around the garden bed. Then attach bamboo screening rolls or bamboo sticks to the posts using wire or zip ties. Make sure the screen is stretched evenly for a neat look.
22. Simple Wire and Stake Fence
A wire and stake fence is one of the easiest ways to protect plants from animals. It creates a light but effective barrier around vegetable beds or flower gardens. This fence is quick to install and very affordable.
Push wooden or metal stakes into the ground around the garden bed. Once the stakes are secure, stretch a length of wire between them. Attach the wire with staples or ties so it stays tight.
Conclusion
Building a garden fence doesn’t always have to be expensive or complicated. With a little creativity and some basic materials, you can create a simple barrier that protects your plants and improves the look of your backyard.
Many of these DIY fence ideas can be made using recycled or affordable materials like branches, pallets, bamboo, or wire. They not only help keep animals away from your plants but also add character and charm to your garden.
The best part is that when you build something yourself, it makes the garden feel even more special. Over time, these small efforts turn your backyard into a space that reflects your care, creativity, and love for gardening.
