Finished building the wooden raised bed (I ran out of usable reclaimed wood) and moved all the soil I could find a place for. Still need to weed 1/2 the garden, buy our plants and get them into the ground, and start working on erecting a bat house!

I was running out of time (the soil is in the neighboring church parking lot and tomorrow is arguably their biggest day of the year), so I contracted out a couple neighbor kids to help haul. The big beds are now full up to ~1” from the top, and I built up the new bed some more and added more soil. Need to add more but I’m beat for today. Still a bunch of soil in the parking lot so I need to warn the pastor 😬

Doesn’t look like I did much, but I burnt 2900 calories today so… 🥵

Took a detour to build another bed with old wood from our old retaining wall, since I am bound to have soil leftover. Still got some work to do on it, of course.
It’ll be separated from the other beds so it may be a good spot for squash & zucchini (boooo squash bugs!)

Picked back up today and did 13 more carts. I took a couple breaks and forgot to resume my #fitiv exercise tracker for a while, so I only recorded ~1300 calories burnt but it’s probably closer to ~2000. Thankfully it wasn’t nearly as warm today, but the soil was heavier thanks to the rain last night.
Pictures: soil pile after carts 14-17.

Got 1 more cart before the rain & lightning started. I guess that’s a wrap for the day.

Not too bad, burned 2,232 calories today!
