Garden stuff has been coming along slowly due to all the rain... wet soil is heavy soil, so we've been trying to wait. We've had a bit over 4.5 inches this month, which is already more than the last 5 Januaries combined!
That didn't stop Ryan from totally emptying, lining, and refilling Raised Bed #2 though.

He was shirtless out there... but sorry, those photos are just for me.
A bigger project awaits.
Do you see how the rock wall is kind of, um, hollow on the inside? The outsides and the tops are lovely, but they are almost only supported by dirt and luck. This is why stones keep falling out of the 2 taller beds which are even thinner and in worse shape... and the company who did it (and who also failed to line the beds that were right next to hungry fruit tree roots!) will not fix it. We're leaving those 2 taller beds for late summer and will likely have a different company take them apart and re-stack them with mortar and extra rocks to keep them safe.
We will probably just patch up the shorter two beds (which Ryan finished lining) with some sort of filling between the rocks since they are stable enough to lean on. In the meantime, Torin isn't allowed around those tall wobbly beds, but they will be useful for growing some tasty greens and herbs since they are in shadier spots.
THE PLANTING CAN BEGIN! WHEE!!!
