2nd new garden bed; weeding Moss Terrace

Illijana spent the day weeding the section of our yard known as Moss Terrace (named for our friend Larry Moss).  It is a sloping section on the eastern edge of our property which we bordered two years ago with a used concrete wall.  You can read more about it here:  Moss Terrace.  It has been overgrown with weeds and plants growing wild.  Illijana did some weeding, cutting back on the overgrown plants, and moving some plants into more favorable locations.  There is still some transplanting of rhododendrons and azaleas to do tomorrow.  Here is a picture of the area with the transplants ready to go in.

I spent the late afternoon working on construction of the 2nd new garden bed in the former blueberry patch.  I laid out the recycled lumber, nailed it together trying to keep an interior dimension of about 41 inches.  The two photos show the completed bed and a bit of the construction detail.


We want to construct some steps down into the garden and a third bed by the back wall.
