Next time, put a 2x4 the full length (between posts) on it's edge. Looks to me like you have three 2x4's laying down try another 2x4 under one of them (or both) but on it's edge. This is so it doesn't sag in the middle. Looks great though. You're going to have that place too nice to move. I can see a new business venture coming in the future.
just my opinion

Nice fence. We have a fence like that and the lattice is falling out due to the horizontal 2X4's twisting so I have been adding 2X2's vertically about 1/2 way between the 4X$'s to support the horizontal 2X4's.
How deep is the 4x4? I typically use 3 bags, that will fill a typical 4' foot hole with the 4x4 in it.
We are in sand,lot slopes west toward the rear of property.The 4x4 are four feet deep,gravel base,tamped with the head of a sledge hammer and one bag;
Not Rapid Post,regular Quick Crete.
When I looked after Dads farm N E of Aylmer (clay) the frost brought everything "up" out of the ground. The "oldtimers" say this is not a problem in well drained
sand.
