What did you do in the garden today?

[igorsMistress]

We cleaned up the human side of the patio, did a minor repair job in the coop, watered the lemon tree, and made a pile of wood for a fire this weekend.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Well, we have experience building that hoop coop and it was pretty fast and no heavy lifting. We would just have to figure out if we want to use clear tarps or plastic to cover it.

Ours had plastic 1/8 inch thick panels that are slid into the frame work. Problem comes in where everything has to be perfectly square in order to slide in.

Oh yes, this does jog my memory! What a great find that was! Not much free stuff on our local Craigslist, where i generally check. I hear facebook has a good sales forum. But i never checked it out yet. Too busy on BYC! And building!
