This last weekend, a friend was able to give me a hand building raised garden beds. Got 2/3s of them done, along with some plantings.

Today a friend came over and helped me plant 2 apple trees ... a Pink Lady and an Arkansas Black. He brought an auger, which really helped make this so much easier. Oh, both trees are dwarf sizes, so their max size will be 8-10' (height & width). Gotta keep 'em manageable.

The raised beds will be built to be deer proof, allowing me to reduce not only my carbon footprint (think trips to the grocery store), but also allowing me to share extras with other people in my community - especially import given the costs of nutritious food associated with inflation associate with weather events from climate change. This photo is an example of what will be built.
