Garbage Guide Rails! This will help keep our garbage can get set back where it should be. The left (West) rail will also protect the main gate to the garden and will not hit the garbage can. The right (East) rail will protect the garbage can from being hit by vehicles trailers etc. Plus if we have a water well dug we will extend the South East part of the East rail and the North East side of the East rail to help protect the well.

Remove one Moringa replace with another Moringa. Why did we do this? We replaced one Moringa because it was not growing the way we wanted sense it was young enough. The one we replaced it with we grow from seed back in January 2021. We like the shape and it looks better to the eye. Update: We switched the two Moringa trees back in May, look how they are doing now.

We added a rack to the white work around the farm trailer. So we added 4 yard tool slots a latter rack and a place to hang ext cords. We also added a battery box plus we will have a inverter on it to run other equipment. Plus when hauling pipe or lumber we have a rack to place them on.

Chicken run and coop part 1! We added doing the post, rails plus the Purling's to the barn post replacement job. We figured if he is welding the 4 new posts we should just use the time wisely to have the welder weld the chicken run posts, rails and Purling's. We were going to get start this next year 2022 but we gave it a jump start.

We pulled 5 of our Aloe Vera and replanted them in another part of the yard. We moved 5 from one area of the yard that we are going to place a gray water tank from our washing machine. We planted them closer our 3 flag poles. We placed them in area that did not have a big area but would fit the aloe Vera just right. This is only type of cactus plant we would plant in our yard. We still have about another 12 Aloe Vera plants left. We know someone who would take them and would put them to good use. We will do a follow up video to show how they are doing in a few months. We may just do a video of planting the Aloe at our friends house and what we are removing to place these Aloe in that other plants place.

Our Blackberry is having a hard time, hope it makes it! We put a water well and wood shaving in the water well plus placed some grid wire around it to protect from the bunnies. We also placed a small piece of lattice on top to help protect it from the sun. We will update you in the next month or so to let you know if it makes it.
