The raised bed arrived yesterday and I did try assembling part of it but it was cold and that thing is metal. so, today I finished assembling it and then when Andy got home I got andy to help me fill it up. I found some raised bed filling techniques online and They tend to layer the bed with different things like cardboard on the bottom (save sme a trip to the compost area) then wood (plenty of dropped branches were added to the container), yard waste (I had lots of leaves I could add. then we started adding the bags of soil that I had gotten from Lowes. I did not have enough so tomorrow I will get some more to complete the fill. I did get my black earth compost, though and I bought 2 extra bags. I’ll spread 2 in the raised bed and use the other one for other areas where we have plants.
Today was my 51st birthday. I had the day to myself and did a few things. I too a walk after dropping andy at school. then I went to Seven Arrow Farm to pick up our Black Earth compost but they had not gotten the delivery yet. They were going to get it around 11 and I was there too early. So, I left and went to Rehoboth Baking Company and got a Bacon Egg and cheese English muffin sandwich. Excellent as always. I’ll go back to Seven Arrows tomorrow.
We did burgers for dinner and had some mini lemon cupcakes to celebrate. I did try and pick up a half gallon of Peanut Butter Brownie from Bliss but for some reason it ended up as cookie dough. That was even after the kid behind the counter checked the container (it had no label but was in the peanut butter brownie spot). Oh well we enjoyed that ice cream too.
