    Reminds me of reloading. Sounds great until you test theory against excel numbers
    You may enjoy this book.

    I don't know why people invest in raised beds. I just started digging. This book actually has a method for digging raised beds which don't require wood or brick to hold them up. I started out with this and used it for many years until my husband got sick of me digging up more of the lawn every year and invested in those landscape bricks which was a waste of money but it looks pretty. And now I have boundries.

    I chose raised beds as an alternative to leveling my yard and building a retaining wall.

    Wife is on the way to planting today. Some rain slowed us down.

    I got stopped because of the rain. Need to plant some cantaloupe and watermelon along the fence line.

    I rented a small rototiller for the garden, then used it to tear up a bunch of areas to lay sod. Everyone in probably a 10 mile radius is out of sod today. May get lucky and get some tomorrow.

    Go to the sod Farm, the Home Depot lowes stuff is usually old.

    We went to the a place that was only yard materials and they said they ran out early this morning and are trying to arrange a shipment for tomorrow. They're gong to call me when it arrives. I need about 350 sq/ft.

    Garden went in yesterday and we're hoping there isn't any hail to flatten it this evening...

    Garden went in yesterday here as well. Wife put every loose board, tarp, whatever around the house to cover it all. I'm not sure if it needed it or not since it was all seeds. I came home and removed everything, then it started raining hard again so I got to put it all back...
