Last Day of April

The first of the casing and baseboard has been added.
It still needs to be painted but we'll get there one rainy evening. 

Henrik has almost finished cleaning out the place for the new magnolia tree.
The old stone ring broke apart when the stump was pulled out but it has been cemented back together.

Andrea's slow and steady progress up the wall.

Saturday Green Things

So far the deer have left the Primulas and Doronicum alone in their exposed bed.
Aster seedlings in the greenhouse.
The lights have been a big success, as the seedlings are not becoming spindly.

Another Brick in the Wall

Close up of AO's handiwork.

The day's work before the joints are tooled.

Railing Installation

Railing installation progress has been quite rapid today.  

Other than the piece of glass and bottom rail that was an inch too short it has been uneventful.

HK still hard at work.

Deck Rail Installation and Spud Bags

Planning the deck railing installation. 

Lots of planning amongst the bits and pieces.

Purple and red potatoes have been planted in spud bags.

Germination and more spring flowers

More spring flowers

The zinnias have germinated and will hopefully benefit from the new lights.
