That really looks great! I actually bought stuff for the slugs this year as the last two years were bad. I had to remember to sprinkle it around again as we just had some heavy rains.

I stopped procrastinating and have the retaining wall pavers up for a new fountain, underlayment in, liner in... only to find my liner is 1' too short on one area. Now to splice on another piece to make it fit.
Well... I have two strong teenagers who actually laid in the pavers, etc. No way WaterWitchin is hauling 60# pavers from a pasture into the back yard. But it counts as non-procrastination, because I supervised so well. For two 14 year old boys, they did a pretty darned good job of getting it all leveled.

A new built table. (is not finished I run out of wood.)
I put some lights up too while I was at it. I can work at night while it's a cooler somewhat
83 at night is much better than a 100 in da shade

Your outdoor growing area looks fabulous!!! And all your plants look so perfect and healthy, they look like they are getting excellent care.
My current project is keeping the orchids alive with minimal effort. 2 months ago I did a textbook perfect face plant on a concrete floor (tripped while sprinting during a HIIT class) and my hands took the brunt of the fall. Nothing broken, but I seriously f**ked up a lot of ligaments in my palms and wrists. I have a brace on one hand, and limited functionality of the other... Watering the plants is a challenge since I can't carry a watering can. So I take it one day at a time, and do what I can. I'm only 38, but sometimes feel like I have the body of a 70 year old.
