Another beautiful day for working outside here, with a high temp up near 60F and sunshine! DH mowed (mostly picking up leaves off the lawn) and dumped everything on the garden. I took the rototiller to the "mature" part of my compost pile to loosen things up, and put 7 or 8 bucketfuls on my asparagus patch, followed by covering the whole thing up with the leaves.
The base for the new hoop house is finished and tomorrow we plan to start building the sidewalls! We had considered using pavers for the floor in the part that had been inside the old greenhouse but it occurred to me that if we just used dirt, with cedar mulch for walking on, it would leave the option open to use the entire area for in-ground planting sometime in the future. Otherwise, I know we would never be up for doing as much work as it would take to remove the pavers, dig out the sand underneath, and then add the soil for growing. At this point I don't really think I will want to take out the seedling benches and stuff to allow more planting room, but you never know
