Team Farmitage went house on the backyard last weekend, turning a scrubby patch of lead-poisoned soil into a construction site. The plan: construct our first two raised beds (codenamed AWACS and Nighthawk). The materials: garage doors and shadily-acquired fence posts. The tools: a Sawzall and a wicked mallet. The results: see for yourselves.
Behold my handiwork.
Yes, we are growing a Brooke Fly in this cold frame.
Teach . . . you . . . to talk shit . . . about . . . my hammering skills . . . .
Immediately thereafter, Koan whacked himself in the leg and hoped The Breach didn't notice.
RIK and Half Pint lay pipe.
Whenever we doubted ourselves, we looked at our magnificent compost bins for reassurance.
We can do this.
Michelle, we love your sense of style. But your miniskirt-and-booties getup is ridiculous for yard work. Oh, and a backyard garden? For sustainable urban agriculture? What a great fuckin' idea! Wish we'd thought of that first! Our lawyers will be in touch.
The entire day is summed up by the look on Max B.'s face: God I love the Sawzall.
RIK and Half Pint construct Nighthawk as Max B. realizes somebody bogarted his wallet.
Sniper!
You guys go ahead and work on AWACS, I'm going to sit down at the table and check out this pale ale.
Goddamn those raised beds look good.
Yes, yes they do.
No, you may not look at my secret blueprints! Can you believe this girl?
Steel garage doors are sharp and rusty and fun to work with.
