For the past couple of weeks we've had all the materials we've needed to put up the deer fence for the garden. And we've been slowly getting out there and working on it. Yesterday I finally finished pounding in the last of the round posts; today Matt set the supporting 4x4 posts in concrete, and I finally started laying out the beds and started "busting sod." [The plan is not to till, but to turn over the sod (roots-up), order a couple of yards of compost to spread on it (one local place actually delivers certified organic bulk compost) and then cover it with black plastic to rest a while. Hopefully the thick layer of compost and black plastic will be enough to kill the sod (by excluding light). Not sure how long it will have to be on there, but it'll be an interesting experiment.]
Matt's also been working on converting the car canopy into a greenhouse (last picture). Tomorrow after work he'll finish up setting the last few 4x4s, and I'll start putting up the netting and continue turning the sod.
