After a weekend hauling ten foot trusses up to the top of the new shed (or barn as we’ve started to call it) and straining to hold enormous pieces of particle board for John to nail onto the roof I have newfound respect for the men who built this house. Three days of backbreaking labor later, we have a roof on the shed and a window in place. Just in time, too, since today the rains came. We’ve also been hauling wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of compost into the newly completed raised beds, and I’ve been researching victory garden seeds as well as new fruit varieties to plant. John’s mentioned the chicken house too, so (fingers crossed!) that may be one of the next projects. In the meantime, I collected buckets of seeds this weekend, and when the garden dries out again I’ll be back in the perennial garden picking seeds for next year.
