WOWIE! Everything looks amazing! Nice job! Do you get swallowtail butterflies in your area? If so, you should be seeing them in your dill. lol Super envious of your snow in summer and echinacea. They didn’t do well here. Following…!
Dry you say? Shit man, I see green lawn. lol My lawn isn’t even green and I water it in the front. Lucky for you getting any rain. We barely get shit for rain, even in the winter. I’m actually jealous.
Ya I wish I could identify it. It has a wonderful, sort of citrusy/eucalyptus smell if you get up really close to it. Hard to tell but it does have purple/red foiliage under all that fuzz.
I know what you mean about the kids. Mine are close to 18 and 19 now so not nearly as much mess in the yard (the mess is in their rooms now). I’ve had much more time to spend caring for things in the yard this year due to COVID. Before it was almost a hassle that I didn’t have enough time for, and now I am really enjoying it. Waiting on an order of a whole whack of veggie and flower seeds (mostly veggies) than I plan to start as a “fall crop”.
Thanks! The terraces were built by the previous owner. They look nice but they aren’t anchored properly so they are slowly shifting toward the patio. I am tempted to pull all the earth back in the lowest tier, shift the frames back, and anchor them properly. If I do it, it’ll be in the late fall when everything is harvested or dead and the temperature outdoors will be more conducive to some very hard work.
Yikes moving a lot of soil is hard work for sure ! Would hate to see what damage a 8-10 rainfall would do to something like that not sure if it would ever happen in your area but Mother Nature is unpredictable at times
Depending on the composition of your soil you might be able to dig out 1’-1 1/2’ of soil out to rebuild your retaining walls…
I guess it comes down to time, money and interest in the project in general…Since you can probably use much of the material over…(if you don’t mind the same structure) your projected fall start is likely best with all the free time everyone seems to have with covid.
More applause from me… Nice compost setup especially. I’m still holding the beans you sent (Tangerine Dream x LRUV) and am eager to try them, but you know how it is…
