Finishing up the planter, rain is getting in the way....

I know CA is in a drought, but the rain on the weekends (not the weekdays though!) has really been screwing up our schedules. We can't work on anything outdoors when it's raining, and sadly, our planter has been the same since V-day. I want to start planting already!


We assembled the planter (by putting dowel rods in them) and painted a water sealer on it so the redwood wouldn't rot from all the moisture (which made the redwood look a tad orange). I also sodded the land.....and wow, was that back breaking work or what?!? I have humble appreciation for farmers now. It really does a number on your back racking soil, pulling out weeds, leveling the soil, fluffing up the soil, this and that. We're not even using that ground soil!! Anyway, it was a good learning experience.
