“Lori and I spent the weekend putting in our latest flood control project. Since the last flood came in from the side we added some protection by using 1×12 boards at the bottom of what will eventually be a deer fence and a series of arbors. I also started digging out a trench that we will fill with gravel for a “creek bed” that will serve not only as a path through that side of the garden, but also as a rain garden for the gutters on that side of the house.
