Three days of rain
On Saturday, we worked on the yard. Here is the backyard, pre-transformation:
The newest issue of CRAFT has an article about constructing fences. I had many sprouting potatoes, and wished to plant some. The littler garden I made wasn’t so much a raised bed to plant into, but a bed where I can mound the soil better as the potatoes grow. Here is the front view, crocheting twine to hold up the fence:
After a few hours of fence construction, I ran out of straight logs and energy. Bricks were supplemented for the other sides of the wall. Tyrone uprooted a brick pathway in the front yard because the cottonwood tree had already uprooted it halfway. It was a good re-use of bricks. It would have been fun to have a totally surrounded stick fence.
I re-planted some herbs in the corner.
