Karen - pruning an almond tree. I think there's an OH&S issue here! Risking life and limb for almonds. That's dedication!
The grape vine in front of us was pruned and shaped into a heart! So cute!
I really felt like I was going to bust a tire on the tractor doing this. Marty and I learned a lesson about hugelkultur beds that day - cutting the wood into more manageable sizes is a good idea before burying it in the ground. We thought this would squish the wood and branches down before covering it back over with dirt. Hmm. Well, it kinda worked.
Everyone worked really hard covering the hugel bed over with all the dirt, sawdust and compost we had. It wasn't easy! Marty and I would have taken forever to do this on our own.
An awesome bunch of friends that made the day so great. Thank you all so much! :)
