It was at the start of the September (2016) - we were finishing wall replacement works and already had installed first bearing beams, there were still some things left on home remodeling works, but all the major tasks were done, and everything was done to preserve house for the winter (as we will be absent)
It was good day to spend some hours in garden and continue shaping our rock garden, please see:
Shaping trail in the rock garden
Gravel and soil from pond is used to form trail and on the sidewals soil for the plants.
Would you believe, if I told you, there was actually a dump bellow the rock garden just a few months earlier? See: The Big Spring Territory Cleanup
Second strawberry harvest at the start of September 2016
We lost out harvest in June to the corvine's, while we were on the trip around Spain, see: 7 days in Spain (Region of Andalusia)
Also see how we built a veggie garden in the boxes: Our First Veggie Garden: Planting Plants in Boxes
Extending rock garden
More gravel from the pile, which is layered over the film and more smaller stones from the field to strengthen outer borders of the rock garden
View towards house
Now, the home remodeling is a large investment, though the improvement of the surrounding territory doesn't ask so much investment but gives a really high added value.
