Another great weekend...my work was in a group show downtown at The Market Gallery, I helped Dom with his work, made a couple of great dinners, turned and added to the compost bin, added some new plants to the patio pots, and most importantly, tackled a big hands-on project that included lumber and drilling.  Eesh!  But seriously, I'm so proud of myself..the wood itself had 2 feet on me! Man, purchasing those gardening gloves really payed off!

Before & Compost

After

Since I had the fence, I saved some lumber and anchored my front bar to the fence, creating 3 raised beds.  I also moved a smaller, existant jade plant and potted it for the patio. Open, and ready for plotting!

My problem and need for adding an extra 6" of soil from the raised bed is this culprit... a buried portion of a snipped-off chainlink fence from the previous owners of our rental. Because of this, the gravel and the intermittent concrete from old poles, my alley garden came from nothing more than an oversized dog pen.  Even Beatle's glad its a garden now.

Now, where's the plants?

What an amazing job! You'd never think this was a rental for all that work you're doing! I'm so impressed! I can't wait to see what it looks like when you're finished!
