Garden Plans

Making plans… | Garden Reno

Good morning so I am I’m putting on my bibs I’m on my way out the door I’m going to show you guys um kind of what’s going on with the with the garden just the setup and some things I’m thinking about changing well things I’m planning to change um yeah just

Some some maintenance and updating kind of things but I got to get myself together before I right there a pretty bad hole in my sock but not changing socks right now grab my boots um yeah so I’m just going to kind of show y’all what I’m thinking about doing or

Planning to do um I still got to figure out the details some of the details yeah anyway let’s go outside okay here we are so I’m showing you this from the outside of the fences first let me back up a little bit so you can see

All Corners um so I’m showing you this from the outside first so this is what we have over here and I’ll show you this I’m going to I’m planning to grab this out so I can actually um write down all the measurements I need but I’m just going

To show it to you while I’m out here first of all I have two of these so there’s this one over here and then there’s one over this way on the other side of the yard and that’s the one that has the two um Tech they were technically set up

As potato beds but I’ve been using them for other stuff too but I’ll show you that one in a second but it’s basically the same configuration as this except it doesn’t have this Frame over the bed another thing um let me catch my breath I don’t know why I’m out of

Breath um I don’t know it’s like I was holding my breath or something so this part right here and you’ll see this better once I get in there but um that covering isn’t over that entire bed but the bed that that’s in is this started

So I had this one right here and I have one like it over in that bed over on the other side and this is on a slope so I wanted to find some way to utilize this slope in the yard and I might kind of

Try to pan over to show you what that looks like um but that bed where this where this covering is um this is where the not potatoes well there are some potatoes but where the beets and carrots are that’s what that’s what that’s covering um but those two beds this one

And one of the other space um are where I started and they’re dug into the slope so yeah we’ll get into that cuz that’s part of what I need to talk about as far as what I’m thinking about changing all right so the layout there’s a bed that goes from the

End back there up to about here there’s a little space just an opening and then there’s a bed that goes from this end up to the gate and then it’s the same thing on the other side so from there to about here space and then from here to the

Fence okay now on the other side of this bed there’s a there’s another bed it’s not all the way back to the fence so there’s some space between this wooden bed and then there’s just a bed a raised bed that doesn’t have any borders which

Is what all of this all the the rest of this is except for the middle one there’s a bed back there and then there’s some walking space on the opposite side of it so it’s fence walking space bed walking space wooden bed walking space and then the gate and

These beds and then those beds okay now the thing that we have to do first thing and these are things I’m I think I’m actually going to start working on to day um because I have time I really wanted to go ahead and start working on my plan for the actual beds themselves

But that’s I I got I kind of need to get going and I don’t have time to really graph this out the way I want it to and then still kind of make the time that I’m trying to make because I want to do a little fun stuff too so I’m going to

Go bowling when I leave the gym and I want to be there when they open so that’s why I can’t that’s why I don’t have time to do this cuz I’m trying to go Bing um and I have a clip clothes pan in my pocket in the pocket of my bibs okay

So unit just turned off um okay first thing first or second uh this I’m going to show it to you you know what let’s go closer you’ve seen what’s Happ well no sorry let’s not do that yet cuz I’m going to go closer to show you that so this this particular

One not the other one the other one is fine but this one this end right here I can see out of my window out of my bedroom bedroom window so I can see see it from there and also just when I’m Mowing and you see my lines from me

Mowing when I’m mowing I noticed it as well somehow I got this one off so it’s like it’s sling this way so it doesn’t just go straight back so I need to actually straighten this up so I’m going to have to bring this right here in so

Where it’s right right here it’ll have to come over to about here and then on this side it’s going to have to go out some so that’s something that I need to fix that’s just going to be a matter of pulling up the post um I don’t know I’m

Not sure if all of them are off if it’s just like the last two on each side that needs to move but it definitely needs to be straightened up so that needs to happen before I start on my my bed plan another thing now this is

What we’re going to move for all right now you see it you see what’s happening here so I have these Gates I don’t know if you can see me or not but as long as you can hear me that’s all that matters so I made these GES you see that

Moving they’re all pretty much like that now so I’m going to have to do something about this um and you see how this is set up let me see what you can see yeah you can see it okay so right here I just have some wire from something

Else um oh this is the wire I used for the Blackberry setup but I just have a piece of that holding this up and I usually have like a brick or one of these big rocks that I dug out of the ground keeping this closed but I don’t

Really need it right now but yeah so these post are out that truck so loud so I’m going to need to do something about these post I’m thinking I may go ahead and use um those aren’t TST they don’t have the little thing on the top but they’re basically

TST without the T part if you know what I’m talking about but um well or is the tea part the part in in the ground I don’t know anyway I might use some more of those posts can you see okay you can see that yeah I might use

These um I don’t know yet thankfully this going to squat or Neil um I never did really figure out what I wanted to do wanted to do as far as Hardware on this um so it doesn’t have hinges it doesn’t have lat a latch and

It’s the same thing in the other bed is set up the exact same way um and those need to be replaced as well but um yeah I couldn’t really decide how I wanted to do that or figure out I wanted to do it so I just I didn’t do anything so let

Kind of have them propped up I mean it works I can open and close it you know whatever so it moves freely as long as the grass is low it moves freely so yeah that I had to figure something out with that um the issue is when I put

These posts in I’m pretty sure I quick Creed these so if I do those kind of post instead I’m going to have to dig that concrete out so that’ll be a project I may or may not start on that one today I don’t know um and right now

This is the best time to do that because all I have in here is the stuff that’s covered up and I got that one little that’s actually like the drawer of one of those little like um storage things that wasn’t even mine like I picked that up it’s like in a trash it

Blew up in my yard or something I don’t know but yeah that’s all I have in here so I’m not really worried about anything getting in here messing with stuff so yeah I at the very least I can go ahead and take this out cuz it’s not really

Connected it’s not connected down in the ground at this point anymore so yeah I go ahead and take that out and then I got winter and early spring to to dig the concrete out so that’s one thing that has to happen um well that’s the second thing after straightening up the

Sides so now we can go inside okay before I start talking about the rest of that just a quick look this is what I was talking about so this is that wooden bed that’s duck into the ground and then I’m going to walk back here and show it to you

So this is all pretty much grown over but from here to here this space so this across to here and then let’s see I don’t know if you can see how inside it’s down here to here that’s all another big and this is just cardboard that I put

Down to kind of suppress the grass but yeah that’s that’s what’s happening sorry I’m kind of trying to figure out the order that I want to do this in so I brought you back out um to talk about what I want to do with the beds before I talk about the parts going

To show you inside so I told you I had these spaces all around what I am thinking about I’m going to draw this out for you um what I am planning not really thinking about pretty much decided on it now um what I’m planning to do is go ahead and first

Of all I’m going to connect these beds so this space is going to leave and that space over here is going to leave and again it’s pretty much going to be the same thing in this bed and the other bed with some exceptions I got kind of got

To figure that part out but I’ll talk about it when I get over there so I’m going to connect these this front bed the front beds and the side and then where that space is back there I’m actually going to make a bed all the way across the back so instead of having

That walking space and then the bed and then walking space and then this bed it’s just going to be the bed across the B and then a walking space between that and this wood bed okay that’s one the big the biggest part of that though is I’m actually going to frame these beds

In so right now I have the raised beds cuz I didn’t dig down I just I did cardboard and La the compost and everything down but what I have ran into what I’ve run into I’m going to come around here and talk to y’all so what I

Have run into sorry we’re going to we’re going to change this okay so what I’ve run into I’ve turned it this way because I’m trying not to get like other people’s property in the video um but the issue I’m having is Bermuda grass that’s the main thing I have some

Other weeds that are giving me issues but the Bermuda grass is just terrible and I’m realizing that trying to do the the on the ground di kind of thing instead of doing actual rais beds or or digging digging it out completely which is actually what I did with these beds

Across with my borders around the house I actually dug that out so I don’t really have that issue with those beds um but yeah so yeah anyway but yeah trying to do it that way in the garden um not digging it out and not doing elevated beds it’s

Been such an ordeal it’s been terrible it really has um so so you saw when I was showing you those beds back there in the back um yeah when I was showing you that bed that’s at the very back you can’t really see where it is

You can’t see where most of these beds are um in this in this space part of that is because the one on this side over here I actually have grass clippings over it so pretty much everything just looks brown right now so it all blends

But the other part of that is just the way the grass is just kind of like constantly growing into the bed and it’s it’s such a headache so I’m going to go ahead and I’m going to go ahead and frame those in um when I do that I’m actually

Going to dig in some and actually I’m doing that part because of the slope I’m going to have to dig in um kind of how I did that that that main bed in the middle so with me doing that I can cut those romes off along the

Edges of the actual Garden the actual beds and then from there I have to decide like how much I want to dig inside the beds um to kind of try to get some of those roots out because that stuff it’ll just keep growing as long as

Those root pieces of those roots are in there it’ll keep coming back so so that’s really what we’re looking at um is trying to finding some way to uh I I wouldn’t necessarily say eradicate the mut C has problem but at the very least um get some kind of

Relief from that so that’s just that’s a good note though um as far as like Sorry’s passing okay that truck wasn’t as loud as some of these trucks are so um anyway just a good note as far as different gardening methods um I mean you you learn what

Works right and this and I was actually kind of trying to go with like um like a back to eating kind of kind of thing as well which is another no dig thing but yeah anyway you just find what works with all these different methods um I do

Like I like no dig um but trying to do it this way it just that it doesn’t work with with this grass that’s already in my yard so yeah if I didn’t have that this was like a new build and they hadn’t put grass down or they put down

Side or something side that wasn’t Bermuda grass um this wouldn’t really be an issue as long as it wasn’t a romal grass but because it is a ryal grass it’s just constantly a problem so so I mean love you learn um and another thing on that like this bed in the middle that

Is that does have borders and I did dig that out to some extent it’s still some stuff will still come up in that but it’s not it’s nowhere near as bad as how it comes up keep hearing stuff I don’t know what that is um is how it comes up in those

In the other beds I must be leave for I’m not sure what that was me I kind of look for just still out here right now Birds up in this dead tree that needs to come down okay well anyway sorry for that brief intermission um but yeah so what was I

Saying oh my gosh what was I saying I don’t remember um oh yeah so it didn’t do as bad in that bed and then the potato Beds which are raised like they’re not in the ground at all um those don’t do as bad either and then like I also said my

Borders around the house I actually dug that out and put like compost and stuff down those are absolutely the best best ones I mean I still have little stuff kind of pop up in them but nowhere near what’s happening in the garden spaces so that is something to

Note um the only thing my hesitation with potentially doing that in the garden spaces is the fact that I have already put like two or three years of compost down so I don’t want to lose that by trying to dig this out at this point so so I probably won’t go that

Route um I’ll just kind of dig it up and pull out pull stuff out and just you know kind of pull dig it up and pull whatever I can out and then just spread it back out spread the soil back out um but yeah as far as taking it up and actually moving

It which is what I did around the border with in the borders I’m not going to do that cuz I don’t want to lose all my good soil that i’ that I’ve built up out here um so okay okay we can go going we can go look

At what I was going to show you before all right guys so I’m I want to give you a good visual representation of this slope um and I’ll probably show it to you from another angle too like just me out here so you can kind of see what’s going on but

So like I was saying about framing these beds in the real task here is going to be like I said I’m going to have to dig in in um I’m going to have to dig them in to some extent now now so this this is just how it slopes

That’s not the angle of the camera that’s the slope so what I am looking at doing hold on let me grab a stick or something okay so what I’m looking at is which I know this is actually going to help um I kind of want to show

You but I’m not sure how will you be able to hear me oh my gosh please pass by thank you goodness Okay so um wait where are we okay there we are so I’m going to have to keep those beds pretty level so all right let’s back up part of

The part of me doing borderless raised beds was so was really to avoid this um having to dig a bunch of beds in now I felt pretty like I was a little nervous about it um um but it it worked out fine um as far as the slope and me

Putting down compost on top and not really digging mixing things in the hesitation there is or the worry concerned there is it potentially washing washing down because we do get some some pretty heavy rains um so that was a concern but because I wasn’t building it

Up super High it wasn’t too much of a concern and it really it ended up not being a problem say for the most part not that I can really recall now if I put beds if I raise this up then that that that I’m just laying

On is going to be a lot thicker it’s going to be deeper um higher than the lowest level here so that then makes me kind of worry about that trying to watch wash down inside the bed because there’s there’s more of it I don’t know if that really makes sense um

So yeah anyway hopefully that makes sense I’m just I’m concerned with it kind of running down if you know when I build that up so that leads me to um the next part that I was going to talk about as far as beds I’m thinking of terracing them the question then

Becomes where do I want to break off those Terraces because I was thinking about this the other day and I forgot that I was going to close this in and I was like okay I can just kind of do one here one here one here um but then I remember

Like oh wait I’m actually going to connect all of this together so somewhere I’m going to have to cut it and I may just do this right here as its own so that front bed in the open space as its own and then do still do the three down here that I originally

Planned unless I want to make them even equally distribute the the space um I’ll figure all that out once I measure it and graph it out and I’ll show it to you then um but yeah so I’m going to have to Terrace this and that’s not to try to make it

All I mean which is terracing and I’m going to still explain in case you don’t really know what I’m talking about but that’s not going to make this all level right it’s going to make whatever section however big those sections are the sections themselves will be level so

If I go here I’ll have to dig down here but up to this point it’ll be above ground so and all of that will be level and then the next one it’ll step down a little bit and then it’ll be leveled to wherever this end is and it’ll be on top

Of the ground but this part will be in the ground and it’ll do that all the way down so it’ll just it’ll be like stairs essentially so you know how you have you have a step and it’s level all the way across but then you step down and it’s

Level and you step down and it’s level that’s what that’s going to do so I just got to figure that out um as far as like the back that’s still on a slope too so this is going to slope down just a little bit um not sure how concerned I

Am with that part and that’s going to leave a really big space here because I don’t want to make that too deep because with me not having a walking space let’s look over with me not having a walking space on the back so this bed goes from like

Here to here or basically to where the the cardboard is so it’s a nice size little bed right here and it’s actually one of the better beds in both of the spaces um yeah so anyway with me bringing all of that together and connecting it and going across the back

That’s going to leave a pretty big space I don’t want to make it so deep that I can’t reach across so that’s going to be a thing with this I’m only going to be able to make it so deep because otherwise I’m not going to have any way to walk around

On the back of it and I mean unless I just plan to put like corn or something on it in which case I could just reach over the fence and grab that I don’t really need to go on the back back um but yeah I don’t know exactly what I’m

Going to put on that bed in that bed at this point but that’s going to leave some open space here um and I can I I’m thinking of doing some potted things and stuff like that in some of this open space that’s going to be back here so I

Mean I’ll utilize the space it just won’t be bed an actual garden bed in this space anymore and I’m actually going to move like this all this good s soil that I got right here I’m digging that out and we’re going to put it we’re

Going to put it back here in this space back here help fill that in cuz I want need to level it out anyway well I say level it’s still a slope but you know whatever so that I think that’s the gist of it here I don’t think there’s anything else

I need to tell you on that I’m have to dig those beds in um do something about the gate at this gate and move these um these outside fences or these side fences to straighten it up or straighten it out whatever straighten up out straighten it um yeah okay let’s go

Look at the other bed right quick okay here we are so again not really getting into we’re not here to look at stuff um but we got some stuff in that bed and that is actually just my Peppers I’m going to try to save those Peppers particularly my um pepper Onis

NOP no no no my maronies sorry the golden maronies I want to try to save those and this mess right here I finally came out a few days ago and pulled up um all those zenas that I planted on the side after the corn after I harvested

The corn I planted just a whole row of zenas down this side over here and I finally came out and pulled those up I left them initially because I thought well maybe the birds will eat the seeds whatever but I haven’t seen them really messing with them so and there are still

Birds around you can hear them well those are geese you he right now let me see if I can catch them flying over if I can catch them I’ll show them to you flying over um yeah they don’t really sound like they’re moving but they’re closer than the nearest pond in that

Direction oh okay sounds like they were actually going away I don’t know if I see if I see them I’ll show you so okay I think they did go by but they went they’re too far over I couldn’t see them over the trees cuz I hear them kind of on the other side

Now I think I don’t know it could just be an echo so anyway um yeah it’s birds around but I didn’t see them messing with them so I went ahead and pulled those out I still had some over in the Border as well I just went ahe and pulled out all the stuff

That I left for the sake of leaving seed heads hold on um yes I went ahead and pull out all that stuff out that I was leaving for seed heads for the birds because they weren’t they weren’t eating them from what I could see so um but I didn’t have

Room to dump that so I just left it right there so I’m actually going to pick that up today and go ahead and get it out of here um um and then those that are still up that’s okra um when I was pulling those out they’re kind of

Slippery and I couldn’t just pull them out of the ground so I’m going to have to cut those off hold on yeah so I have to just cut those off I might do that when I come back out here later today um yeah so like I said the difference here I don’t

Have that frame around that middle bit um but I do have this little it’s actually a piece of the fencing and some post that I already had and I have like a little small trellis right here on the end of this um I think I did Peas I did

Sweet peas on that green peas um on that last year and then I also did some of the Cucumbers a little bit of cucumber on that as well later in the year so let’s go a little closer okay I got you hold on I got you a little slam

It okay that’s better I feel like you’re sled in the other direction a little bit now but it’s fine so this is that trollis I was talking about my little trellising situation and I actually have a trus that I keep on this one back here which is just um some much taller post

Than these and some what’s Hort NOA like that Horticultural netting um and I use that pause okay um yeah people uh so what I’m thinking well what I’m planning to do here and I may go ahead and get these while I’m out today um I’m

Going to get some more of these posts so I want to get four posts I’m planning to continue doing Peppers through here um so I had this post and then I had um just um like a bamboo stick or something halfway down this row and then

Did I have another one I have another one on this end or did I I had another one on this end too and then one on two two on the other end as well um but I had that and then I had just some string

Um kind of tied going down to try to keep hold on wait something’s not adding up here let’s see no okay so I had the bamboo Stakes holding my strings that I had to kind of try to keep the peppers up because especially with the bell peppers it’ll get kind of heavy and

Branches will break off um but these the bigger one and there was some others those were for my shade cloth um during the hotter part of the summer because from my understanding um peppers like heat but they don’t like it just super hot so yeah so I was shading those so what I’m

Thinking of or planning to do here is get some of these posts and actually go ahead and set something up and also I want to I don’t know if I want to use the same as this fencing let me show it to you right here this fencing I’m not I can’t remember the

Size of this is this like maybe 2 by three spacing um I think I would like something just kind of square and honestly it doesn’t need to be that skinny either but um I think I’m going to do something like that um I don’t want to do the string thing again and I

Also don’t want to use like that netting and I’ll show you the netting um in another spot because I’m thinking of doing the same something similar in that spot as well so what I want to do is like I said get some post like like the ones I already have so

Four um uh four to six cuz I I’m sure I’ll need to do one around the middle I don’t know if I want to just do one on one side or do it on both sides probably both sides so let’s say six post down this bed also while I’m talking about it I

Don’t actually know if I want to reconfigure this one to the way I’m going to do the other one um just because I do have the peppers already set here I don’t really want to move them especially if they make it through the winter I don’t want to do that um so

I have to think through that for this space over here I have to think through it I don’t know y’all I don’t know um yeah it would probably be fine to go ahead and do it I don’t know but we’ll we got time to figure that out I’ll definitely start on

The other space before I start on this space over here so yeah so doing some post and then taking some kind of fencing and running it down across those posts um and letting that be what holds them instead of string or netting so that’s the main thing that

I’m thinking about doing right now that I know I want to do to this bed um yeah let go ahead and get that set up for next year now let’s see um I don’t really want to look at these back bits so I’m not going to go back there

Um the main thing with these you can see where that’s kind of bookling right there let’s let’s let’s zoom in over there CU I’m not I don’t want to move the camera but I want to show you this so you see where that’s you see right here oops where we at right there

There’s another loud one that board is um sticking out is doing that in a couple of spots so these boards on the ends are actually different from the boards down the sides so those are actually doing really well just sticking together but yeah those down the

Sides um I wasn’t going to replace them I was just going to give them some more support to keep them in place but I don’t know I to make a decision on that that bed I’m actually thinking of today getting some top so to go ahead

And top that bed off so did some research I can turn can you see me okay so I did a little research um about my sweet potatoes and and I think I’ve seen this before but then I’ve also um seen or watched you know people talking about potatoes sweet potatoes being like heavy

Feeders so it was kind of like well wait which one is it do they not need like really fertile soil or do they need fertile soil I’m I’m a little confused well the thing is they need fertile soil but they don’t really need a lot of nitrogen which apparently is something

You run into when you’re using a lot of compost in your beds is it being higher in nitrogen than what they really like so I’m actually going to top that off which normally I would top everything off with compost I’m going to top that off with some top soil and

Then I’m just going to get I’m going to try to find a fertilizer that’s more targeted to that those kinds of crops and mix that in instead of putting more compost down so that’s my plan for that um yeah so I’m think I’m going to go

Ahead and try to get some some SW back today to do that that so I want to get that and again and again I don’t know what what I was saying just then get the soil for that bed and also get go ahead and get the post for this for the peppers maybe

And I don’t know if I want to get the post for the gate I didn’t show yall this gate but it’s excuse me it’s basically doing the same thing the other one I’ll show it to you in a second I don’t know if I want

To go ahead and get the post for the gates or not because I still got to figure out exactly I’m going to do about the gates because once I put those posts up I mean I’m just holding it up with a wire so I could just wrap the wire

Around the post like I have it wrapped around this wooden post wire around the yeah those yeah anyway I just do the same thing but I don’t know um I’m looking at this bed and I actually feel like this this space over here didn’t do as

Bad it doesn’t look as bad but but then I also feel like I kind of have have the mulch better on this bed than I do on the other bed let me show you wait I still have this zoomed in y’all sorry so like see how well this is mulch that’s

Something else that I kind of want to finish because I still have some more grass clippings I still have more grass clippings um in the back at the back of the yard so I kind of want to work on that as well just depending on how much

Time I have what which projects I decide to actually work on today and over the next few days while while the weather’s nice and I got time to do It trucks um so yeah I actually don’t know if I’m going to I don’t know if I want to reconfigure this one cuz it just it doesn’t it just doesn’t do as bad as that other one does like that other one needs it um but this one might be okay as it

Is it might be I don’t know I don’t know guys um I definitely want to do the other B the other space I left that open I’m about to go close that um I definely want to do the other space I could leave it over I don’t know

Um but I don’t know I don’t know if I want to change this one cuz that one I’m really changing out of necessity this one I don’t know again it could just not look as bad because it’s covered up a little better but I just I don’t know I don’t know um

Something else that I did not talk about on the other is I have I saw something oh if I put those H those little spaces there if something’s been in there um so the walkways I I think I have pretty much decided that I’m going to stop trying

To um not have grass in these walkways like it’s over with um I did wood chips that’s what I had here initially and you can still see it in sis like right there like right in here you can see it wood chips but um sorry let’s go

Back but I mean wood chips they break down they basically turn into compost so now it’s just grass growing all through here and I did and I actually have um like landscape fabric down you can see it right there but still those wood chips broke down on top of it and it’s

Just the grash is just running wild in here I pretty much decided to not fight that anymore and I’ll just I’ll just plan them mow it um or weed eat it I guess and that’ll be that um let’s see is there anything else to talk about here I was going to show you

The this gate too even though again it’s just like the other it’s just like the other one oh no that one that side’s still good that side that side’s bad so yeah I don’t know I’ll have to figure out exactly what I’m going to do about these

Gates I’ll figure it out guys I’ll figure something out okay there’s one other thing I wanted to show you um what I was talking about when I mentioned how I’m want to do this let me show you that that’ll be the last thing okay so we are now looking at the back

Border this is the south side of the house so I plant a bunch of stuff that needs full sun back here um have cut flowers so I have like daffodils and tulips they do okay um the main thing is I have my dalas right here so this is my Dalia

Patch um so I have about six different plants off in here and I’m I’m using this right now so I don’t plan on changing these posts but and these are po that I had from some from something else and I took that down um we won’t get into that but anyway

These were post I already had and I just put some black stain on them so what I was saying about doing talking about doing over there with the fence section I’m going to do the same thing here um so I’ll do one lower down I

Don’t know if it’ll be that low or you know exactly how I want to space them I might end up doing three I don’t know yet but I going to do that instead of this because this just gets flimsy it’s flimsy and then it just kind of weighs

The plants just weigh it down um and no it it wasn’t really this loose initially it just kind of weighed it down like that stretched it out so yeah I’ll take this off I’ll find some other use for all this netting that I have and this is what I’m thinking of

As far as supporting that so what I want to do once I get the fencing um and swap it out Swap this out is I actually want to just put like a nail or a screw on the outside of each of these posts at whatever Point those fence pieces fence sections are and

Basically just slide it down over the post and have it sit on those nails and that way I can kind of take it on and off pretty easy easily or screws whatever hooks whatever I put there um and that’ll be the support for because I’m not worried about it going up I just

Don’t need it sliding down any further than where it is um and I also don’t need it going side to side we’re supposed to keep it from doing that but just something for it to rest on so that’s what I’m thinking of there now before I go in the house I

Would like to give an honorable mention to these blueberry bushes man they are so pretty so sorry I’m trying to keep myself out of this yeah I guess I should have done from this angle um they’re just so pretty they have such nice color through the fall and winter like

It’s beautiful look at it look at it it’s got some coating on it now but it’s just so pretty look at that that is just the prettiest thing it’s so pretty let me show you the other one okay so this has um the tree Shadow

Over it so you can’t see it quite as well this thing is full of um buds though it’s full of buds I was looking at this one out out of my window earlier but yeah the color on this one isn’t as brilliant but it’s still pretty very

Pretty and um this one of those things where it’s like winter and fall color spring color even I just didn’t really expect that they are very very pretty um so that first one I showed you is just a regular blueberry I don’t really know the variety and that second one that’s

The pink lemonade so it’s a pink blueberry um yeah well that is it um there’s I’m sure there’s plenty of other things that I’m going to be doing out here just making some changes um moving little things around moving some plants around mainly actually let me close this gate while

I’m closing this out um but yeah that is the gist of it and uh yeah we got some things to figure out some things to work on um when I come back later I’ll go ahead and get out here and do some measuring so I can draw this out

On yeah I’m going to have to draw this out sorry guys I’m walking away from the Sun now um I’m going to draw this out on my graph paper and kind of come up with some plans at least for that first space that I showed you cuz like I said I’m

Still going to have to decide on that second one I initially said it’s going to be the same but but I don’t actually know if I want to do that so we’ll see how that all goes and I will get started on that later today um

I was going to say bye but I guess I’ll be back to show you show you the drawing see you in a bit okay so here’s the drawing sorry I’m adjust in my hand um so first of all 16 16 ft 7 in across there I’m assuming the same all the way

Across I didn’t measure the gate but that’s what it is on each side 64 67 top to bottom 18′ 2 in so I tried to keep that 7 in on here but the 2 in I really didn’t bother with it so this what we’re looking at that bed is

4×6 um so it’s actually like it’s four this way then it’s like 6 and 4 in across because I didn’t like um angle cut the ends I just buted it up against the other side so it’s got the extra 2 in from these 4 foot boards so it’s actually

64 um yeah anyway so an extra 2 in on each side so this is what we’re what I’m looking at this is 2 and 1/2 ft AC across and 2 and 1/2 ft up here here I’m going to do 3 ft across the back just because I have

All of that space um I don’t want to go any wider than 3 ft because I’m not that tall I mean my arms only stretch so far so 3 ft is is 3 feet is actually stretching it honestly but or pushing it but I think I can manage with 3 fet if I

Put anything across the very back it’ll have to be something that that that I can access from outside of the fence so either something taller or maybe something that kind of vines and I could Tris it maybe I don’t know but anyway 3 ft back there that’s going to leave me

With about 6 ft of space here and again I’m not I didn’t really use 2 in so yeah this is an approximation but as far as how I cut these boards I’m going to cut it based on 3 ft and 2 and 1/2 ft so that’s that’s a done thing

Um so yeah it’s 2 and 1/2 ft 2 and 1/2 fet these marks right here are my tentative um Terrace Terrace marks so I may cut this off here actually I did four spaces I may actually do five spaces so I can have four um so I have four different um

Marks I did four spaces but I really intended to do four four marks anyway so I should have did it by five instead of by four um yeah currently which I wouldn’t want to do one inside of this so the smallest I could go on this end

Would be 3 ft um but as it stands I have them marked at 4 and 1/2 ft so 4 and 1/2 ft to that one and then to that next little Mark which is in the same spot on both sides that’s 4 and 1/2 ft for all

Of those little marks so 4 and 1/2 ft 4 and 1/2 ft 4 and 1/2 ft 4 and 1/2 ft again that’s an approximation because I didn’t use the exact I didn’t use that extra 2 in um so I just I rounded it actually I used the

2 in in my calculation but then it came out to like 4′ 5 something so I just went ahead and did 4 and 1/2 for the purpose of the graph um but yeah so one of these will obviously be a little off from that cuz

They’re not going to all be 4 and 1/2 ft exactly well anyway yeah so that’s what I’m looking at so 2 and 1/2 ft deep until you get to the back 3 ft and then again I may re-evaluate on how I want to do the terracing if I want to do four sections

Like I have it marked here or if I want to go back and do five sections in which case they won’t all be even because I don’t want to go any lower than this so yeah the lowest I’d be able to go back here would be 3 ft and I basically just

Mark this off it’s has its own bed essentially and yeah I may or may not do that across the top as well and then terce and then do three in between c not fully decided on that part yet um yeah not fully decided on that I

Guess I should have did it one way on one side and another way on the other side so I could show you but I didn’t think about it until after I marked it and started recording this video so um if I do decide to go a different route with this which it’s wet

Outside um it’s a little drizzly so I couldn’t really mess around too much out there didn’t want to mess around too much but when the weather’s a little better and I can actually kind of stand out there and look at where it’s going to fall on the slope because it’s a

Little steeper up here and then it starts to level out more down here at the bottom so when I can look at where these marks actually fall on the slope I will most likely shift this around so they may not be even at all it may just

Be random spots where I tears it off but those are the general measurements all right you guys have a good day bye
