A Day in the Life

Syrah grapevine

Succulent flowers

Not sure what this will become - a table?
A planter? A way to conceal stereo speakers?

We inherited this with the house.

Redwood Rounds

Figs!

One happy farm dog

Cross traffic

I have been freaking out a little because the plum hasn't
leafed out - and then was relieved to see
at Home Depot theirs haven't leafed yet, either

The mandarins, nectarine, apricot & the blood red are leafing nicely!

The burn pile is piling up!

First chore using the scoop

The old Fig (Figaro)
This is the view from the workshop
 
Visiting Egret took the dog in stride

Making a planting bed with rocks from around the yard

Look what was under all those weeds -
(a lot of) Bearded Iris and 3 Heavenly Bamboo plants

The future garden site - past the break and in full sun.
4 planting beds levelled and graded - check!
Chicken wire and weedblock laid down and secured - check!
The compost is tumbling and the dirt and a perimiter
fence comes next -  the Hubs is making a gate out of
an old iron headboard. Can't wait to see.
