I missed this too! That pond is huge! A lot of blood, sweat and tears in that build. How are the new planting beds doing? Which Egyptian technology did you use? I am envisioning rollers to move it around the yard but how did you get it upright? My husband used heavy steel conduit pipe to move a ~ 800-pound rock off of a trailer and onto the patio all by himself. It took 4 of us and some winches to get it onto the trailer. He may have had to see the chiro afterward too, but I was impressed with this workaround.

Thanks for the tour. The blueberries look really good. Did you film this year so that's what they look like right now? I think the bright blue flower might be forget-me-nots. Looks like you have some nice volunteer dill plants. Happy summer!

The first bed is strawberry plants. I plant assorted vegetables in the second bed. Today I planted some onion plants in it. The covers are hinged to open. The last bed is herbs. I have a patch of open garden on the other side of the raspberries where I plant most of my vegetables but my son still needs to roto till it with the big tractor.

It looks really good, Popmama! With everything you have in there I think it's gonna be really "filling up" by the second year. If you want to arrange to stop by here sometime (120th & Colorado Blvd) I can give you starts for a few different varieties of semps/hen & chicks to get you going! If you're interested and you decide to PM me post here that you did and I'll sign in to check the account that's associated with my RMG/GW account--I seldom check that email account unless I know somebody's sending me something there! And just a heads up on the mugo pine. They're always really "cute" in the pots when you buy them, but after a few years "the cute" tends to go away and they get considerably bigger than most people ever expect them to. Some grow faster than others but I believe they all eventually get "big." It'll be interesting to see updated pics when everything starts growing in spring! Skybird F 10.14.22 @ 2300 MDT
