Last night was a gardening day.
First went to my parents and picked up the plants they planted from runners for us last year, must've been almost a hundred plants.
And some free water barrels too
Coffee break with some rhubarb crumble
My parents old greenhouse, it's gonna get torn down this year and the arches will go to someone else. The 2nd greenhouse was torn down last year, they will leave 4-5 of the arch segments nearest to have a smaller greenhouse / tractor storage.
Growing in the sand, nothing was grown in the sand for the 40 years they worked in it, they used hydroponics and grew tomatoes in rockwool, the sand was just the base.
Think these are potatoes, and wild dill is growing in random spots. My dad dropped some onions he hung to dry too and they started growing in the sand. Things seem to grow well in sand.
So we brought home some sand with us and mixed it into the top layer of the planter boxes we're putting the strawberry plants in:
All done:
Now finally I can move on to the shed again.
I got the miter station jigged up so I could make consistent cuts.
Then I just started nailing, just one nail in the center is what I chose to go with, based on what I've read, that way the lumber won't crack. Two nails say 1/3rd in from each side might hold the board flatter, but might also crack when it shrinks. There's also a gap between the boards, where a 50mm / 2" batten will cover the gap.
Keep going.
Until the lower portion's done.
