More Room to Plant Stuff

This is kind of a scary sight in February. It isn't supposed to be spring yet!! These apple blossoms didn't get the memo apparently
There was an old grape arbor going over ramp up this hill that was torn down earlier in the year. It left this big open section that I wanted to plant in. Originally I was thinking I would just get all the weeds out and put containers up there but a better use of space would be to just do terraced beds. So that was the plan.

Before shots.


All the weeds torn out. Not by me... but torn out just the same.

Now voila! Wow, are you impressed? I was.. after spending a few days mostly in bed then getting to come out to this was rather cool. I want to plant pole beans along the fence... and summer squash I think.....

Those are compost piles in the background up in the upper bed. We have four piles going right now . One got up to 155 F . Not bad.

So pretty.
That white thing is a water filter that will take out the chlorine from our city water . Plants do not like chlorine. Nor do my hands. I have to finish getting the soil just so in the new beds. I'm waiting for my rock dust to get here. Then it will be planting time!
