Major storm last night with lots of washing/erosion. I got the trailer parked under the lean-to so I could shovel mulch if raining. The trailer is about halfway empty after working this morning - would have shoveled some mulch last night but ended up on a ladder nailing back up gutter that decided to fall off the lean-to. I am going to reinforce the nails with screws. but I need a cobalt drill bit for metal. It is very muggy here now, so in for a break.

The herb garden is flourishing (so grateful because I missed my herb garden terribly last year) & the Jalafuegos are 'peppering' up a storm - there is hope for jelly!

Now for the REALLY great news: my beloved brother (I have the BEST brothers) pried up my metal raised beds this morning so I can load them up & bring them home Tuesday. I had tried prying them up previously, but was bending the edge. He said he did bend the edge a bit, but was able to get it bent back ok. He just made my day!! I was having a rough morning dealing with our trash service people - will spare you the details.

Pics of the lean-to project coming maybe next week after I bring lumber from the old house to finish it. In the meanwhile, here are herb & jalapeƱo beds. I haven't had time to put down shingles & mulch around the beds (next on list after lean-to) so that looks a little rough.

I like the bird bath in the middle of your herb garden! Everything looks so healthy.
