...we took lots of pictures!

"CHOO-CHOO!!!" The best part about our new coffee table? Built-in tunnels!!! |
|
Working very diligently. |
|
So, this is the ancient woodpile that was rotting away behind the shed. Home to brown recluse spiders and probably some snakes. Here we are building a hügel out of it! Hurray for making our yard safer, a better view for our back neighbors, AND awesome soil all in one! So logs go in first. |
|
Then smaller pieces of wood on top. |
|
Then leaf mulch. In the wheelbarrow: The beautiful dark soil from under the woodpile that we put on top. This will be our pumpkin and winter squash bed. |
|
Broccoli plants getting big! |
|
Peas blossoming. I saw six pods today! |
|
And tomato bed. Those are cucumbers down the middle; they'll be needing trellising soon. |
|
Roses for the feast of Corpus Christi from the farmer's market! The peach ones are appropriately called, "Heaven on Earth." They have a delightful light fruity fragrance, very like a peach! |
|
I believe this is what they call, "Parallel play." |
