My Saturday

in #steem • 18 hours ago

My Saturday started like most days with a morning 3 kilometer walkies, then once i got home i had a cup of coffee and chilled out.

Then i went for a 12 kilometer walk which took me 1hr 57 minutes and this and my earlier walk were both done without wearing my weighted vest.

I was mowing the lawns a week or so back and hit the vegetable garden with the mower, some of the wood crumbled off which made me remember when we out the garden in we did not use ground treated wood.

So today i decided today was the day we would replace the untreated wood with some ground treated wood, plus due to the lengths the timber place sell we would make the vegetable garden slightly bigger.

Off to the Timber place i went.

First i removed the old wood edging which was really quite easy to do as the wood was pretty crumbly.

Now when i say the garden is bigger its only 30cm deeper but that will be enough for another row of some type of vegetable.

I decided to also get a couple of decent quality bags of potting mix to fill it up.

After nailing and cutting off some wood here is out revamped vegetable garden, the new soil is in and ready for planting.

We had a BBQ for which was really nice since we have a nice sunny day here today, tonight i can just relax and do nothing.

With the early morning walks and another one after dinner i have done 20 kilometers so i think that is enough for today.

Tomorrow i will be back on the mountain bike.

Have a good weekend everyone

Thanks for reading my post today and have a good day :)

Sort:  

Qué bien que la madera vieja se dejara sacar así de fácil, eso habla de que ya tocaba el cambio. En mi experiencia con huertas, ese 30 cm extra rinde más de lo que uno imagina cuando lo llenás con buena tierra. ¿Ya tenés pensado qué vas a plantar en esa fila nueva?

Yeah the old wood was definitely due to be replaced, not sure what we will plant maybe

Great job mapping out the garden upgrade—do you have a preferred type of ground‑treated wood that balances durability with a natural look? 🌱🚜👍
