We had a great time at the community garden meeting last Tuesday. The group decided to rotate planting zones this year so everyone gets a chance with the sunniest beds. I volunteered for the herb section near the shed. We are also setting up a shared composting system behind the tool shed. A few folks brought samples of their soil tests and the pH was all over the place, so we are going to do a collective amendment day next month. I think it will work out well once we get the schedule posted. Let me know if you want to be added to the group chat for reminders.

Also, I checked on the rain barrel setup — it needs a new diverter before the spring rains start. The hardware store has a simple kit for about fifteen dollars. I can pick one up this weekend if you are busy. Just send me a quick note and I will grab it. The rest of the system looks fine, just a little debris in the mesh.

I finally got the bookshelf assembled after two hours. The instructions were mostly pictures and a few steps were tricky because the dowel holes didn't line up perfectly. I ended up sanding them just a little to get everything seated. It looks good now though and it holds all my cookbooks plus a few plants on top. The wood is a medium oak color that matches the rest of the furniture in the room. I used a rubber mallet to tap the shelves into place so nothing cracked.

We are thinking about painting the accent wall in the living room a warm green. I saw a swatch called sage whisper and it looks pretty soft. My partner wants to see it in natural light first so we will grab a sample this weekend. If we like it, the project should take a couple of afternoons. I have painters tape and drop cloths already from last year.
