Rain has fallen daily for at least ten days. I am feeling out of touch with my garden project. More rain is forecast the next couple of days. There seems to be no end in sight. I have been searching my photo albums for direction. The photos of the back yard in the morning sun brightened me. I could do some grade work on the patio without getting muddy and soaked, so maybe that's what I should work on now. The conditions for moving the gravel around could not be better.
The photo reveals the grade work I did yesterday in the lower left. There is a swath about four feet wide coming from the gate into the patio and grill area along the fence that I consider close to the final grade. The swath meets the grade of the new grill just as I want. The runoff flows between the grill and fence into the compost area.
To the right of the swath grade the patio area remains about two inches high over almost to the white chairs. Maybe that area is about twenty feet by ten feet, two inches deep... that makes something like thirty three cubic feet of material? I'm not sure about my math. Anyway, I will have a good, little pile of gravel screenings freed up for other purposes. First on my list for this material is the gate on the west side. But that is a study in itself.
