The backyard gets further along

The other day was miserable. It was windy and rainy like crazy. But it was followed by a huge rainbow. It arched over the backyard.

Last you saw we had moved the shed, moved the garden, and we had planted things in pots (raspberry bush and flowers).

Well now we have planted the full garden. The stakes in the earth mark the rows:

Dill, Rosemary, Chives, Green Onions

Lettuce, Spinach,

2 kinds of carrots

Peas

Beans

Cucumbers

Asparagus in the front left.

I also bought a couple of plants.

Tomato

Red Bell Pepper

Pumpkin

Butternut Squash

As well as the pot of herbs from Lorne and Janet:

Thyme

Compact Thyme

Tarragon

Mint

Sage

Savory

As I mentioned before we transplanted the strawberries. They seem to be recovering. The leaves that had already started coming in have died off. But there is a ton of new growth. We just may not get any strawberries this year.
We have also made some advances on the area to the left of the deck. You may remember that there were cedar plants there that Logan ripped out in the fall. It has been a big mud whole since then.

Here we are tamping down the dirt.

He we are nearly finished. We have stained the new stairs and rearranged the patio furniture since this photo. But it looks pretty good. We blocked the underside of the deck to hide the dirt and yuck that is below the deck. Laid some flagstone for the BBQ and new stairs to access the new BBQ place.

There is the shed in its new resting place.

The other end of the yard. The big square of dirt to the right of the garden (which used to be the garden) has had grass seed planted. It is really starting to come in.
