We have been working on putting a few finishing touches on our chicken coop / garden shed. We wanted gravel under the “porch” portion. First we had to clear out the weeds and level it off a bit. Then we put down a thick layer of newspaper.
Our little garden tractor has a very useful trailer on the back. Just right for a few loads of gravel. Rick very carefully backed the trailer in between the potatoes and tomatoes – and didn’t hit either one. My trailer backing skills are improving with practice – I don’t usually have to go pick up the trailer and move it by hand anymore.
There is quite a bit of gravel left over from the building of the shed so we made good use of it.
We shoveled two loads and that was enough. I would like to point out that I did help load and unload the gravel, but since I am always the one taking the pictures Rick is the only one shown working – really!
We built a couple of benches, and put up a some shelves. It turned out well, and we are glad to have a nice place under cover in the garden.
And now, on to the next project.
You guys are amazing. You finish the first project BEFORE moving on to the next one. Hmm. Maybe you better come down to our place and give us some lessons.
ok, what is the next project? Is the garden producing yet? We have ripe tomatoes, zucchini and h-u-g-e onions. Also, lots of nut grass. Brenda, your okra is about three feet tall – every seed Russ planted came up.
