Thanks for the ping, granny - and the freepmails. Been so busy I haven’t been able to do much of anything on FR lately...

FINALLY DH is going to cut enough trees so I can have a garden after 9 years! It will be very pathetic since he’s just starting this late - have to do raised beds since the dirt here is bad, just forest dirt, and 60 to 80 foot tall trees all around, so he has to cut a lot of them (and DO something with them...).

I already ordered a bunch of seeds, and am drooling about flowers too. Have to put up a good fence to keep the deer out. Even if I can grow enough vegies just to eat this summer and a few over winter I’ll be so happy. If it actually works I’ll figure out how to post a picture.

Build you a log cabin?

A fort to keep the goats in?

Edging for your raised beds?

Trade to some farmer/rancher for well rotted manure ....

Or cut them and go into the firewood business.

You will enjoy your garden and eat better with one.

Maybe a log cabin greenhouse could be built from them?
