Whew...

Last week we got our lumber. Enough for one raised bed for now.

Today we spent about 3 hours there. Weeding, digging, wheelbarrowing, manuring and talking with the neighbors. We put down 3 wheelbarrows of 'cold' manure. Still not clear on the concept but I live to learn... Nancy put down chicken wire to do gopher discouragement duty.

So dig, chicken wire, manure today. Next weekend is dirt, more manure and let it age somehow. Then we build the raised bed and do the above all over again! Am I crazy? : )

Nancy and I left just before sunset. Good day. The garden is moving along. Note the sun sculpture. Nancy found it at a yard sale. I like it a lot.

Rain is amazing...

It's amazing what 3 months of neglect and rain can do to a cleared plot. Here's the evidence.

Graphic.
In your face.
It was Wild.


I also had my first experience with stinging nettles. And wearing shorts too...Needless to say, won't do that again.

That tall person in the hat is Nancy. The new partner in this bunny plot. I am so glad to have a partner as interested in growing bunny greens as I am. Looking forward to working with you, Nancy.

And voila! 3 1/2 hours later...

And then, they rested. At least till Wednesday afternoon.
