But frogs, grasshoppers & kangaroos…

Much progress with dirt turned, topsoil added and fence put up and gate made.

And marigold seeds planted in the ground part of the fencing. 4 more bags of topsoil added inside.

Next up is topping off some red mulch in a front planting area and along our southern fence where we’re growing Rose of Sharon.

Looking good.

But keep an eye out for Bigfoot. 🪬
