Gardening Extravaganza

I don't meant to brag, but, can your husband do this?

Design and construction by Adam Holt LLC.

Adam has been selflessly putting off riding his bike to get our garden into working order.  Living in the tricky Central Oregon climate, it was necessary to have the majority of our beds covered. Even with the covering, our poor little tomatoes (which we impatiently planted too soon apparently) were toast. Oh well, we live and learn!

Our cold weather crops are also protected from all the wildlife that roam our yard in the wee hours. It is a cold frame made from chicken wire. Each of these has handy handles to open the tops for easy access. The two end ones have hinges, as you can see one opened in the above pic.

Now, you will notice the dirt paths lined with rocks above and below in these pictures. I would like to claim a little responsibility for clearing those paths, hauling most of those rocks. It is very rough, we are aware, but we have a nice idea of what we want this little section of our back yard to look like. You can't see it well, but there is a rock circle in the middle -- that is hopefully a future fire pit.

Yes, a bobcat and some other big heavy machines could make fast and easy work of all this, but that is not our style. Stay tuned for this potentially long summer project!

Yikes! My head hurts trying to help with this.
