The photo in Mark's post caught us laying out the eventual fence-post locations. We had some PVC lying around, so we slipped lengths over rebar stakes to make it easy to arrange the stakes in straight lines.

But neither stakes nor PVC will be part of the final fence. Instead, we'll be attempting to replicate my father's critter-proof garden fence (a section of which is shown above). To that end, we picked up twenty ten-foot 4x4s (the main posts) and ten eight-foot 4x4s  (to brace corners and around the gate). Further supplies will include woven wire, t-posts (for supplemental support between wooden posts), and wire-tightening supplies. The birdhouse in Daddy's picture is, I'm assuming, optional.
