Henry’s becoming quite the farmer.
Dan’s been off work since the 12th of April. He’s been quite busy with various projects for different friends, ever since his test down in Indy on the 16th. He built garden boxes for our friend Diane, tiled a bathroom floor for friends Mitch and Heather, and fanagled a chicken coop from a dog kennel and an old pigeon coop from the Portfleets at our friends’ Dave and Nettie’s place to house egg layers for us, them, and the Fabers. And he built garden boxes for our side hill as well! This past weekend we moved a lot of dirt around and into them, tested the soil, found out why nothing has ever grown Really Well there, and then augmented it and planted a few things. Then yesterday, Dan and Henry went to the city’s compost site and loaded the truck full of free wood chips. They had 2/3 of them on the garden by the time I got home from work!
