A long-awaited one at that. We ended up being able to use reclaimed wood and hardware for everything except the screws. I feel good about that—good enough to make the tedious sanding process worthwhile.
One post is warped. I worry the strain on the slats will shorten their lives, but it helps that there are four of them to spread out the tension.
Idea: Don't I have one more piece of cedar somewhere? I could add a slat to the sign with the blog address painted on it.
Other Notes:
- LOTS of ripe mulberries—on at least two trees, it turns out. We are going to need a ladder.
- I missed a few days and the bush beans burst into leaf:
- The squash are thriving.
- Preparations are underway for us to have a canoe of native plants installed as part of the Community Canoe project to mark the former paths of Toronto's lost rivers. Date coming soon. More information here.
