Work in the garden

While the barn workers are raising the barn, Pop Pop has been spending lots of time in the garden. Here are pictures of newly planted beds (and some rows of lettuce that were "hooped" over the winter for early spring harvest). Look at the greems and purples of the lettuce! Other than the lettuce beds (all grown from seed) most of our plants are grown by our local CSA, which delivered on their plant sale this week-end. It has taken Pop Pop the last five days to get all the plants in the ground. Good for future salads, not so hot for the back.

Doors and roofing

Today the rear (inner) doors were put up, and finishing work on the roof was done, at least on one side of the cupola. Here are pictures: In addition to the more conventional doors, there will also be two sliding "barn doors" facing the road. On the front view, you can see the finished tin work on the left, no "ridge" cover yet on the right.
