The Green Man’s Patch
That, by the way, is the name Rachel and I have settled on for our yard/garden/micro-homestead/thing. Thanks to John for the “patch” inspiration.
All the serviceberry trees are now planted. The one to the right is in the former location of an ornamental sand cherry tree we planted several years ago in our normie yard period. I kept a chunk of the sand cherry trunk to see if I can carve something from it.
Firewood
I’ve mentioned before that we’ll be getting a woodstove in the next few weeks—so we need a better way to store firewood than our current method of stacking it on the ground. I initially planned on a lean-to shed but Rachel and I started looking a bit more closely today and realized the location wouldn’t work well. So we decided on two smaller platforms, which will actually give us more cubic feet of space with a more manageable stack height. You have to get creative sometimes when you’re working with 0.14 acres.
Today I got the platform built for driveway stack. Tomorrow evening I’ll add some deck boards gapped about an inch apart to encourage airflow. Next weekend I’ll build the platform in the side yard. Ralph decided she wanted to be in the platform photo.
