The most important work we can do, individually and globally, is the healing and prevention of traumas so that we don't pass them down to future generations. This blog is a working tool to contribute to this good work.
I reached the point today in my adobe garden project where I could not continue unless and until that rickety old shed out back came down. Today was the day — I DID it!
1st, the new native plants arrived from High Country Gardens in Santa Fe, NM - $40 for next day shipping, $260 for the babies - out of the box - I didn't quite expect them to be so SMALL!All the babies repotted - my hope for the future International Peace Garden! They are not hardened off for cold so now are inside by a south window. They can't go in the beds yet anyway until the nematodes arrive (ordered today) and are added to the soil to kill those HORRIBLE GRUBS!

Now, here’s a series of my latest adobe work in the backyard’s very southwest corner:
Here's the latest west fence support - the short brown boards are heavily siliconed to the fence, the blue ones are for ROSES to climb! I can SEE them there!Vegetable garden steps made with loose cement from the top slab layer - the far right top corner will be for veggies, but the soil is completely unusable!Showing earth sculpting and latest beds....Very latest bed - still to be 'gutted' and dug down two feet - to be refilled with the best soil I can find - which isn't saying much!Sculpting....Shed corner, in my way - I could work no more until the shed came downShed coming downSoon to be no more....Motley construction, to say the least!Much of the shed was wired togetherYup, wired.....One of the shed door hingesAnother of the shed door hinges with a Praying Mantis egg sack (they are hard as cement). I am always so happy to see those!Shed gone - double layer cement slab left I cannot remove, in very poor shape (the American-Mexican double fences there behind my own fence line)All nails (very rusty) out of the shed boards, I plan to build a chicken coop with them along that turquoise fence
Stop the Storm 
How great to see your progress and WOW what work!
