Garden Improvements

still a mess- green boards for raised beds. moved the stone path. installing bender board....

i love mulch- it's instant gratification.

mulching the dust bowl.

got a spiffy hose hanger

Meg and Justin whacking away at the bender boards.

Garbage bags for under the mulch to keep the weeds down. Thank goodness we did that because after the big rains the backyard looked like a lawn- it was so green and weedy. However, where we laid down the garbage bags there was only the occasional weed that managed to sprout up through one of the drainage holes we poked.

SURF rack.

materials... getting started.

taping off stripes... which wasn't as clean and effective as I had imagined.

paint job.

installation. Gino- our landlord put the silver piece in for extra support.

the blue rack will sit below this one... I'm going to wait and install it when I get my new board.

we have more bikes than surfboards.

I've been wanting to make a surf rack for awhile now. Even though my board is old and crappy- I still love it and want to take care of it. I'm getting a new board soon- so the second blue rack will go underneath this one. I spent a lot of time painting the wooden sticks- and figured it was a waste of time, but they're actually pretty noticeable. Very happy my board now has a home and doesn't have to take up our much needed ground space.
