I think it’s about time I shared the ever changing landscape of my backyard.

We started the summer with a plan to build a shed, which turned into a first step of building a new garden box. Of course, I am referring to the collective “we” here, by which I mean I do a lot of consulting and Ole does a lot of building, digging, hammering, sawing, and the like.
