Today I finished moving a compost pile over into the new bin and leveled the ground ready for seeding grass there. There's still two half piles to finish clearing out but I have to wait for them to dry out a little so I can sift the finished compost for the garden. Then I started digging out the first of the ten veggie beds. I'm going to have to get every bit of crabgrass root out and break up the compacted dirt. There's lots of nice little red worms but obviously it's become too dense for earthworms. The compost will remedy that. I hope to get seven beds done this fall and take out the west two which have started breaking down at the corners. I won't do anything to the southeast bed as Leofwyna has herbs in there and is hoping to over-winter some of these.
I cleaned up this evening and went downtown for the planning session for next Monday's demo. Natalya, Vasilla and Jane also showed up so we'll be able to direct the others in our roles Monday. This is certainly going to be a lot of fun as long as the future bride says yes. I'm remember being at Shakespeare on the Green in Omaha a few years back when a young man had arranged for a plane towing a banner, Marry me! We weren't close enough to hear anything but the pantomime was clear enough. She said no and I think everyone there was hurting for him. Apparently he didn't know her as well as he thought he did. I don't think that's the case in this instance but we haven't met her yet either. Anyway, I'm going to anticipate a good time Monday.
