Got these lovely livestock tanks this afternoon from an old friend of John's. They are delightful in their shape, patina, and the fact that they will keep my madder root contained!

In addition to the livestock tanks, John also got a yard of composted horse manure for our gardens.

He's beat from all of the shoveling and moving of topsoil and manure, but I'm thrilled to have everything in place for the growing season! This weeks forecast is rain, rain, and more rain.

All three beds are now dressed with composted horse manure.
