Heaved sand out of the to be fire pit. Still a lotta roots even after the stump grinder. Sigh. It will get finished, and before 8/18 as a birthday present for Kate and as a Woolly place. Gotta get up earlier to make this happen however.
Pulled onions, put down an old sliding door screen over the raised bed and put them on it to dry. We have red and yellow, no white. Seeing them out there, all next to each other, soaking up the rays like California girls makes an aging horticulturist proud. All the allium crops are out of the ground now. The garlic hangs in the utililty room in the basement and the onions will go in the garage either in burlap or slotted crates.
With tomatoes coming and the bean plants producing we are well into the first harvest cycle. We will celebrate this on August 1st with some kind of ceremony in the garden. We also plan to invite the neighbors on August 2nd.
