Our potato patch is actually growing some potatoes; that's so satisfying!

New Japanese maple, “Fernleaf Full-Moon”

My usual waywt backdrop has been undergoing a massive transformation lately. The forest had been closing in on us in a dangerous way, so we had about 30 hundred-foot trees removed. Some of which were death traps on a timer. Stumps ground, yard leveled and seeded. Gardens going up, a new shed and chicken coop, a mini duck pond. A lot to work on but we’re making progress!

@WhiskeySandwich right on, man! Chickens are fun — I had a few 10ish years ago, really enjoyed it.

[Mizmazzle]

Yeah chickens are super fun. Also had a pretty good coop some years back. So entertaining to just sit with a beer and watch them establish a pecking order and cluck about. Their personalities start to pop up and it’s hilarious.

Six yards of mulch to spread on the gardens. Would have been easier a month ago before everything started growing.

I always think that black (espresso?) mulch looks so good

[goosehd]

@SKT Agreed! Love how it contrasts with the green of most plants and really compliments each other the best in my opinion. I tried red one time and it didn’t look very good at all especially after a few months.

Pro Tip: This is the first year using a 6 tine/prong pitchfork to move/shovel mulch. Best tool I’ve found to do the job (by hand).

My wife found a new setting on her phone and the photos of our roses are awesome.
