Obviously these berries were on the plant already but I just thought it looked nice after all the blisters, sweat, and scratches 😂 💚 #pnw #gardening #OperationCedarWaxwing

This is extremely satisfying…. Especially knowing it was all compacted rock and clay! #pnw #gardening #operationcedarwaxwing

Alrighty, Mother Nature, we’ll call it a draw #wompwomp #pnw #gardening #operationcedarwaxwing

Just think lots of repetitions of this, followed by sifting the soil into a bucket, and depositing the rocks into the wheelbarrow….

BUT FUNNER! #pnw #gardening #operationcedarwaxwing

More rain!? I worked out in it for 45 minutes or so but I needed a union-mandated break anyways.

But honestly, I’d just rather have the sun come out so I can grind through it and finish the excavating today #pnw #gardening #operationcedarwaxwing

At least the dust is going to be knocked down….. #rainbreak #operationcedarwaxwing

Short interlude for a quick rain shower…. [Floof for scale] #pnw #gardening #OperationCedarWaxwing

First task today was sifting through the old bark/sand/rock mix that was on the top of the bed to make room for more excavation.

This is a lot of work but there is something very satisfying about sifting this soil and seeing it come out so nice…. 💪 #pnw #gardening #OperationCedarWaxwing

I didn’t get much time in the garden today but managed to do some damage this evening.

This is one of those project where I realize I’m a bit crazy…… CRAZY FOR BIRDS! #pnw #OperationCedarWaxwing
