Did no sewing today. Instead, I went out into the back yard and dug the trench that marks the edge of one of the new garden beds. It goes along two sides of the patio, then wraps around the side of the house and ends at the door into the crawlspace. Fifty feet and four inches of digging. UGH. My hands are sore, my back is achy, and I know the rest of me will be as well tomorrow. But I wanted to get it done today, since for the next week the forecast never drops below a 40% chance of rain.
About two thirds of the new bed has had cardboard on it for the last several months, so the plants have been smothered. Now I just need to lay cardboard on the rest and cover it all with mulch. (And plant those five rhubarbs!)
