Garden Diary - September 13






Last Sunday, with the help of Mark's friend Mike, we moved the shed into its final resting place. With the car jack, the full-length pipes for rollers, and some careful thinking the puzzle sorted itself out. Next step is to put in a big raised vegetable bed in the space left by the shed - it should be about 10 feet by 10 feet.

The eggplants may yet get big enough to eat before the frost comes, there are yellow grape tomatoes to eat every day, and the kale still looks very happy.

Sadly, these are the last photos I have of Mike. In February 2010, Mike died unexpectedly in surgery, from a genetic condition that caused two iliac aneurysms that could not be repaired. I am so grateful that I have this record of the crazy day he spent helping move the shed - scheming with Mark about the plan, jacking it up and moving it on rollers (repeating the sequence over and over), and then celebrating with dinner and drinks at the end of the day.
