Our New Garden

While the amount of land continues to be a huge advantage to our home, the quality of said-land has been quite a detriment.  A very wet, very wet, no drainage, clay-like substance inhabits our planned garden space.  Very wet. Without drainage. Doesn't dry. Doesn't drain. That stuff up there? That's the magic-making dirt-to-be ♥ Manure, bark dust & something called "Clay Buster" was mixed up and delivered in a giant heap, right in the front yard.  Wheelbarrow by wheelbarrow, it'll be transported here (a view from the chicken coop doorway)
and poured onto rotting straw (which I hear farmers will bring to you for free just to get it off their land!) which used to be our 'round the bonfire seats (reuse & recycle!) And eventually, as things get planted in their due time, each spot of garden will look like this,
each filled with their own happy, happy, happy little plants like these
