One area under the trees was covered in wood nettle. Sid took all that down with a swing blade.
We've mowed the area where the garden will go, and covered that spot with black plastic to kill the grass.
A good friend supplied us with FREE water tanks for watering the garden. The site is across the ravine from the house, so a hose won't work, and a second well is cost-prohibitive.
We set up a campsite on the building site and have enjoyed a few picnics there.
Made a trail through the woods to the future garden, and I put in steps in one of the steeper portions. I'll probably be doing more steps in needed spots.
Put a temporary bridge across the ravine, which is currently being upgraded to a more usable form.
Moved the campsite to a different location so the first spot can be cleared of trees.
Sid set up some targets and a shooting platform for some plinking fun.
We've pulled LOTS of baby buckthorn. the campsite above was covered with it. The green seen beyond the picnic table is all baby buckthorn.
