A very exciting day in the garden!

This morning as I made my rounds watering, I noticed that one of the rascally squirrels had decided that one of my seed potatoes belonged on the fence, rather than in my compost.


It pleased me greatly today to welcome two friends to my home for the first time and into my garden!


They came bearing gifts of left-over materials from the raised bed and gardens they had constructed last year.  They also brought tools for cutting boards and trellises to size, hooray!



See how we were able to put these resources to good use?

They even helped me plan out how to over-lap the pieces and drill them so that they inter-link and will be stronger when I screw them in-place.  It felt very much like a larger version of lincoln logs and with the nostalgic, child-hood reference, it couldn't help but be a happy task!

I really like the look of one bed along the fence and one along the house.  I am hoping that the bed along the fence will at least get some morning light and perhaps even a little through the boards of the fence.

I would be remiss not to mention the activity in the front yard.  In the past couple of days the daffodils and crocuses have graced us with a beautiful display!

Though my yard is small, I anticipate being able to get the most out of it by maximizing the use of my vertical space!  One more look before calling it a day!
