Another Afternoon in the Country

 Another afternoon down at Raft Bayou.

Worked on both vegetable beds

and front flower beds.

Shoveling sand and ecomulch,

hauling rocks, etc.

But progress is visible!

Some of the limbs and undergrowth 

from along the creek bed,

and an area cleared on this side.

The daffodils we planted show up 

much better now.

Just one of several more areas

to tackle on this side of the creek...

before moving to the other side.

Vegetable bed #1 in progress.

It was nice and cloudy,

keeping the temperatures comfortable.

 More dirt for more beds.

One flower bed in progress with 

first layer of stones.  Heavy stones,

when you haul enough of them.

The other flower bed with

less progress.

Fee started the wire panels

that can be removed and planted

vegetable bed #1.

The sun came out about the time

we were ready to call it quits.

We rolled out the black weed barrier,

then put down the cardboard and soaked it,

then shoveled sand and ecomulch

into vegetable bed #2.

Finished flower bed #1

and almost finished flower bed #2.

The vinegar is working for the weeds
in between the stepping stones.
I'll be planting some different varieties of thyme
there when I get the weeds out.

Sedums, succulents,

and Hens & Chicks will go in the spaces

between the stone borders.

Took a nice long, soaking bath

when I got home.

Doused the poison ivy with

more Calugel.

While I soaked,

Fee grilled lamb chops.

Mmmmmm.

What will tomorrow bring?

May be a lie in and pj day.
