Muddy

The tao flows downward and away.
The tao is soft and muddy.

Order is created from raw elements.
Life is born out of death.





"If that Maru you talk so much about can do it, I sure can."



Gridded out for 36 plants. Lots of root room. One of the errors of learning gardeners, apparently, is to not give each plant enough space. Starting my first garden at 50, I'm trying to avoid some mistakes. Time's a'wastin'.




We got a limb lopper, but this is going to take a bit more work. That just ain't right.

The peeling black paint scrubbed off, red spray paint on top. It's a bit odd, but I rather like it. Seals the wood, and brightens up the black. Why black? On a house? Ok, maybe in small amounts, but not this much, on this house. It deserves a bit of gaiety.



Laptop is going a bit mental, age so D tells me. We went to look at the shiny new, and I balked at the price. Keep this one going as long as possible, I can deal with the eccentricities. As my personal IT guy, he gets a lot of say in this, but I can't stomach using money needed for gutters, blinds, plumbing, garden mulch, on an item I can nurse along a while yet. He will watch for a replacement at a reasonable cost. But for now, we'll see how long we can run. I don't really want to replace it. Really, really not.

At first glance I thought that last pic was of an art installation...

Which hopefully means you did good.

It is never a good time to buy new technology, there is always something new and better just around the corner.

I'm looking forward to regular updates of your garden. I've all but given up considering the lack of sunlight in my yard.

I admire your gardening plans and ambition. I am working on a much smaller scale and at a slower pace, so I will try to learn from you.
