A Little Here ...




... a little there.  Work!




Day 4 we purchased these two barrels.  The long one will be planted with deer resistant plants and sit a bit tipped with flowers spilling out .. to be placed in our front flower bed.  The short half barrel will go inside the fenced garden and planted with bulbs and/or tubers that the voles find so tasty.  They both need a good pressure washing .. before filling.  One is from a winery and the other once held Jack Daniels whiskey .. it's a bit charred inside.
