I set the blog aside this winter...somewhat unintentionally...but my many outdoor projects have resumed within the past month and I am ready to report!
Outdoor Projects Completed:
apple tree planted and thriving
peach tree planted and killed
grape vines planted (one killed, but replaced) and thriving
old fire-pit dug out and patio built around it (thanks Dad and Jim!)
Small front-yard vegetable garden planted--tomatoes, basil, and hot peppers
Drip system programmed, soaker hoses for veggie plot added
Outdoor Projects in Progress
Laundry-water collection system (utilizing special soap, a hose and 55 gallon barrel)
--for now I am running around like a crazy person with buckets of water, trying to keep up with the washing machine's water output.
Grape trellis providing passive cooling to south facing windows
Raspberry trellis
Second vegetable plot--adding tomatillos, more tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, another type of pepper, and more herbs.
