This is the last project that we finished. We put the 2 rail fence around my 8 raised beds that I plant flowers in. DH did a great job. I say finished but it isn't. I will be adding flowers on both sides of the fence along the playground. Along the other 3 sides, I will add flowers only on the inside of the fence. The arbor was one that was in the asparagus patch by my raised veggie garden. I wanted both raised bed areas to match so I moved the arbor so we could get it all finished. I am really happy with the outcome.

The big yellow ring standing upright is a large bale feeder bottom ring. I had June bearing strawberries in the yellow ring and Ever Bearing in the white tire ring inside. They were in the way of the fence so I had to relocate my strawberries. I moved the dirt from both rings to the playground area with a little help from DH. I want to put down grass seed this fall in the playground but it needed dirt next to the lawn side. Then I covered it with tarps so the 3+ inches of rain we got that night wouldn't take my dirt away.

This first picture is the playground where I put the dirt from the strawberry rings. The second picture is my 10 raised bed veggie garden. I relocated the strawberries to a couple of these beds here. I have flowers planted in several others once the veggies were done. DH put an opening in the first section so I wouldn't have to walk all the way around the small flower bed to get to my garden shed. I'd like to put a small wooden bridge there in the opening but not sure.

This past week I came down with Diverticulitis so not much is getting done outside right now.
Yard decor, repurposing, and flowers,
