| | Yet more plans for the yardYup, I'm insane. Certifiable.
First off, the hubby's creation. Only had tar paper on the one side, shingles on the other that I can't capture on camera without a crane.  Shaping up.
Where I wanted to stick the second asparagus bed? Not such a hot idea anymore.
Yup, giant tree roots. Can't rototill your way out of those suckers.
So... I'm thinking of doing a basic in-ground bed for the asparagus (like the other one) there to the side of the shed where you can barely see those yellow tent stakes. Shouldn't be *too* shaded by the shed or maple tree.
So then since we can't go into the ground way back there against the trees... I'm thinking maybe that's where we'll put a raised bed to turn into a little hoophouse/greenhouse or do a few little raised beds for the boys to mess around with... Would still need to take measurements to figure that one out, and it'd happen later this summer or next spring.
The clothesline will look okay there in the empty spots either to the left or right of the grill side tables, right? Right? And by that I mean they'll kinda be in the middle of the empty spaces in the yard...
Raspberry canes are coming back. Need to weed and re-mulch them though.
This is what I accomplished today. Pulled off all the dead pea and bean vines and tossed 'em either down that little ravine or raked 'em to the edge of the garden to be dealt with at some point here. That was messy. But quite satisfying with how empty and almost clean looking it is now.
Garlic is kicking ass. Elephant garlic (very bottom) is finally starting to poke through. Need to mulch with more compost though - it's like the cloves keep wanting to heave up. Whatever. Need to get a truck of compost anyway.
Dear weird tree... I will not miss you or your brothers. At all. I'm so looking forward to saying goodbye.
Do you see baby lettuces? I do!!!
