Day Four - More Kitchen, the Garden, and a Door

Today work went on all over the house. Nedd finished the door connecting Henry's room to the room next to his, giving him an annex. The rest of the crew stripped the remaining horse-hair plaster out of the downstairs. It looked like it snowed in August (grey snow...) Not wanting to be left out of the actoin (and wanting to get out of the dusty house), I picked up a hammer and did some construction of my own. My cucumbers and a Hubbard squash now have some lovely climbing trellises (okay, perhaps not lovely, but made out of leftover fencing so I feel smug having re-used otherwise scrap materials).

 Henry's new hangout space.

The Garden...

The cucumbers have a new climbing gym.



The giant sunflowers are not giant. They should be seven feet by now but we did not plant them in May, we planted them in July. Perhaps a warm fall and late frost will give them time?
