In the interest of simplification (and amplification), we transformed mounds 8, 9, and 10 into a new planter, which Ruby has nicknamed ‘the schooner.’

Enclosed therein as of today: new strawberry plants, spinach, lettuce, rhubarb, some bulb perennials on the east end (new photo pending).

The robins love it — perch on the side, on the lookout for worms, presumably.

And a big thanks to E for help with construction!!

The Schooner
