I will agree this has been an exciting journey! Great pictures and when the planting is done some of us might even celebrate
I can only imagine Richard is going to grinning when he places shovel in hand and puts the hose to his first transplant. Ya can't get really entertaining stuff like this in too many places.

Yesterday afternoon the construction of the 2nd retaining wall was completed. In this photo you see the 2nd wall and on the left 2 workers cementing caps on the top of the perimeter wall behind it. Later today the 2nd wall will be cement filled, caps placed on it, and my rear patio poured as well.

Today the crews are grading the front of the property and building forms for the concrete driveway, stairway, and front walkway.

Hmmm... Every time I see a pile of pallots I start to see planters ,barriers , my mind goes into what could I build for free out of that wood.. I've used them for BBQ chips, plant stakes, floors under rabbit cages, hanging planters... Its free wood! Who don't like free wood! Even cut out numbers for the front of a friends house once. Made a weird play car fir kids. Plant borders. Chicken walk ramp. Just seeing them in this picture I can smell the wood as I cut it. Most of them are Oak ! Oak smells nice.. Oh and those little nails they use to nail them together . You can reuse them also. Some of them are nice and shiney!

When construction material is delivered by the pallet here, you also pay a $15 to $25 deposit per pallet. All the pallets you see in the photo will be returned to the company by the contractor.

This afternoon I noticed a migrating hawk that stopped by for a visit on a neighboring telephone poll about 100 feet away. Not a bad photo for an iphone camera!

Trebor,

Please be careful using pallets for BBQ chips, or raised beds (assuming it is an edible garden.) Some pallets may be treated with chemicals, or come in contact with other dangerous substances. It doesn't always matter where they came from either, since many pallets are recycled and rebuilt several times.

I agree with you that they can be an awesome free resource (I use them quite a bit), just be careful!



Oh and Richard, I'm jealous!

Yesterday the workers finished the perimeter fencing I have disbanded the "island" of trees, moving them to the locations where they will be planted. In the back yard, I'm making preparations to build raised beds.

Nice to see you have some larger trees to plant. My avocado and the Cogshall mango were 30 and 25 gal and I'm getting lots of fruit sooner than later.
