A Break in the Rain

Hullo bears and not-a-bears (of which there are now quite a few!). I did not get out much on the weekend (i.e. not at all) due to the rain but... in a momentary lull in the downpour, I did get some pics of some new happenings in the garden.

I helped supervise (from inside) the construction of a second pallet-compost bin.

The new one now holds the "recent" stuff...

And the old one holds the "good" stuff! There sure are a lot of worms at work down there. I know that this will be beary good for the garden.

Speaking of which... remember the rock garden project from last week.... well, it is coming along nicely. The pathway is done (it looks unlevel - but it's just that first landscape tie). And there are some plants on the slope - more work yet to be done. On the right side of the pathway, we are going to plant raspberries!!

These ones that Mama got from someone who was selling off some babies (not real babies... raspberry babies).

 And since raspberries do best when they have support, this contraption is going to have wire strung along the sides to give them something to be tied to... it is like a monkey bar except not...

And finally... I have been prodding these humans to wash their hands outside and not bring all that dirt inside! Soooo... this dual utility sink/laundry tub is going to become part of the potting bench/produce washing/hand rinsing station. I think it will eventually look like...

This!!!

Or maybe... this!!!

I think both of these possibilities are definitely lacking a Bear-Supervision station, particularly as there is water involved - need to have somewhere where I can perch and not get wet or dirty...
