working area of the garden

This is the new compost bin and wheel barrow. The bin is almost full of clippings, weeds and household compost. It has a very good top, and tiny air vents. I am not too worried about rats getting into this bin.

Cannor delivered my topsoil, bark mulch, sand and mushroom manure today. I will be transplanting the 7 plants in their designated places and then using up one more bag of bark mulch at the front. I transplanted 4 tomatoe plants to the garden and 2 into big black pots for Tara. These are good healthy looking Beefsteak tomatoe plants. I used up 1 bag of mushroom manure in this operation. I hauled all the dirt to the places where I will be using it. I have sand, barkmulch and 1 topsoil by the bin. I will want to use this for top dressing on the grass area. I mowed the lawn and put the clippings between the rows on the vegetable garden. I watered the veggie garden and pots of violets and bamboo. Filled the pond and dropped one of the black pipe parts into the pond for the fish to hide in. I need to get some plastic string to tie to the other 2 pipe pieces before I sink them in the pond also. Then, I think I may be able to get koi again. They hide in the pipe and the raccoons, otters or herons cannot get them. The whole garden is getting to look pretty good.
