Momentous decisions have been made. In preparation for spring I’m going to build two more 6x4 cedar raised beds like the one in the photo, which will go side by side in the foreground where that blue tote currently sits. There should be enough soil in the old rotted raised bed hiding in the back right to more or less fill them both. The cement block raised bed will then be relocated to that back corner. I’ve also propagated the two large blackberry plants against the fence into four plants, so those should take off next season as well. Behind this photo to the right, I’ve also tarped off an 8x10 area of lawn to plant wildflowers in the spring. We may get some fruit trees next year as well.

Lots of work ahead. I owe my lower back a preemptive apology.
