filling the new raised bed

i filled the bottom of the new raised bed with bags of tiny little rocks leftover from where the greenhouse was built. yay for getting them out of my garage!

well, the rocks covered only half the bottom. my compost bin was full up, so i started dumping everything else in.

used up the rest of the paint on the pieces of hardboard my dad bought for in case of hail, to protect the glass roof. i dont think it'll need it, its thick glass. but you never know. better to be prepared.

it was supposed to rain overnight, and i needed my soaker hoses dried out so i could roll them up and store them in the garage over winter. so i threw them in the greenhouse. worked great!
