Day 29 Rock projects and dragon fruit

Lower entrance area.

After the house was built we had piles of big rocks, little rocks, chipped rocks, gravel left around the house and a few piles of topsoil.

Now it is time to move them and use them.

While we wait for good rains to start, the guys have continued to work on terracing, and retaining walls.

Mini terracing between steps and clothesline 

Projects this week, continued work outside the basement doors by the steps and laundry line.


 Some of the topsoil from the piles is being used to fill behind new terraces.

Pillars ready to be planted around

Moving dirt, gravel around the dragon fruit posts, and then Cory planted them on Friday.

Dragon fruit.

There were about 10 different kinds of dragon fruit to be planted.

Types include: dark star, cosmic Charlie, purple haze, American beauty.

Unfortunately a few of the plants lost their labels so we will wait to see what the fruits look like to discover what kind they are or get more later from Fauche.

Work started just below the pond

Terracing below the cement irrigation pond.

Shrinking rock pile: future perennial kitchen garden site

Due to the drought, we are a month behind when the apples and some fruit trees were planted last year. 

It seems like the 3/4" rain early this week would cause the local corn and beans to start germinating and die if there isn't another rain soon. 

Please pray for rain.
