Plant / Herb Rack is Done

Deb wanted a new rack on the South facing deck so that her cacti, succulents, and herbs would have their "place in the sun."

I made one out of some old, weathered fence wood salvaged from a friend. It has three levels and removable racks - very convenient!

I finished the trays and Deb bought her herbs and filled the trays

Trouble is ...... one of those April snow showers in Colorado. We brought the trays of cacti and succulents into the house .....

and found a place for the herbs under the glass topped table. 

That was then and this is now! Spring looks to be here although there's been enough rain to fill all the California reservoirs over the last few weeks. Looks like the rains will continue on and off for a while yet. Year to date, this year's precipitation in the South Platte drainage area is 129% of normal ... whew!

We started planting areas around the home, and will have the pros in soon (as the ground firms up) to plant some large trees and bushes. Nothing makes moving into a house feel real more than plantings.

Now off to put in sprinkler systems for the plantings so they won't dry up and blow away when the rains stop!

Welcome to Colorado.

Cheers!
