It was no overly difficult job which became even easier with more practice. We first propped the curved sheets up on the side of the trampoline and put two chairs on the other side. The last bit was cut standing up.
The second sheet Jules cut in one hit.
What a feeling to lift the sides off each other! I could already smell the veggies that will be gowing surrounded by this steel!
As the middle was cut and therefore got sharp edges these will be sunk into the ground, just there where it was cut. Now we only need some screws to put boths sides together, more mulch and organic materials.
I want to plant heirloom beans and give some other seedlings that already grow with us a better spot. We have got plenty of manure and the compost is ready too. It is amazing how resourceful we have been in meeting the gardening needs with stuff we already had!
This morning I pulled the first pumpkin seedlings out from the first and second patch, as they were fighting for feed and water that I want to secure for some other plants. It felt cruel, especially when I choppen them up right away into our new compost. But I felt better when I thought about how many more tomatoes and pumpkin will be coming up from the next compost lot anyway.
What we need now is a cooler day to start a new patch. Sure that time will come, just not tomorrow.
The temperatures will climb to 31 degrees again, could actually be worse! Since the next days are predicted to go into low to high twenties again, it might be time to plant the banana, just because surviving the summer in the small pot will not be any easier. More decisions to make!!!
