Yesterday DH put the drip system in my raised beds. I will take some pictures. He did a great job, even burying the hoses between beds so it looks tidy and he can mow with no problem. Only has to roll up the main line from faucet to first bed. It was 31F (-.5C) last night so can't move dahlias to beds to harden off yet, but I can plant seeds. Moving forward slowly. Eric is coming this afternoon to work on the four pages of things I noted I needed/wanted done in the beds. They were written on unlined paper as I walked through garden, so not as bad as it sounds. Laura will join us when she gets off work. I have my first meeting as the new treasurer for the Alaska Wildflower Society tonight so can't work as late as I would like but that is probably for the best. Really trying not to aggravate my back any more than necessary to (hopefully) speed up recovery.
I am especially excited that Eric can assemble the trellis I bought from Lowe's last fall. It has been in D's truck all winter. Glad we couldn't get to it til now as I have changed where I want it to go.
He would have had a fit had he already assembled and placed it in the original spot.
