Dirt and Manure, So Excited

We got the manure-covered newspapers all ready on Wednesday evening.D has all the lumber to reconstruct the balusters and railings on the porch, but he can't ever get to it because every week I have garden projects for him. I hope that his part of my garden projects is almost finished.

D took off work Thursday and Friday, and on Thursday morning, two tons of soil were delivered and dumped on the front lawn. Peat, compost and topsoil mix.

There was a lot of shoveling and leveling and raking. I took a break from shoveling compost long enough to get dressed up for the mother daughter tea, and then came home and started right back in again.

Then Friday morning, D built the fence. R was off school and helped a lot.

Here is the fence, almost finished. I am imagining how it will look with beans and tomatoes and cucumbers bursting out of it.
