A Smattering of Miscellany

It’s been a busy time with what feels like 157 ongoing projects in various state of completeness. Summer is romping along and the weeds and plantings are well…romping.

This is the main tool shed/work area and below are some very happy plants. Some are volunteers (like the ferns & nasturtium) but the rest are propagated from cuttings. Citronella scented geranium, coleus, comfrey and vetiver.

Planted a pair of dwarf bananas. Apple on the left, Williams on the right. Obligatory deer cages.

Also got a Moringa tree in the ground.

These are the romping weeds along the front driveway. That gate post is about 10′ tall.

Picked up a bunch of free logs to use as edging.

First pass at trying to get the weeds tamed and some sort of path and edging.

Still have a way to go. It’s one of many ongoing projects that’s evolving as my energy allows.

When I need to get out of the sun, I build shelving. You can never have enough shelving.

I may or may not have a slight mason jar addiction.

This is the original built in worktop that has been a growing hot mess in the tool shed. It’s also where the solar generator lives (her name is Bertha.) She provides all the power to build all the buildings and recharge tool batteries. Totally offgrid!

First step…clear the deck.

Bertha is back on the worktop and most of the battery chargers are now on the shelf above or mounted on the wall. Still some tweaking to do, but much improved from the hot mess of before.

Slowing starting to unpack all my tools and get things organized.

Using every little space. Drills in the rafters.

I’m not just work work work girl…I recently discovered this beautiful horse trail up the mountain from me. It’s my new favorite walk.
