Day 2913 A new gardener’s world.

6th August 2025

Looking at the back garden, especially the lawn, I have decided to take drastic action.

We are too busy with our furniture business to have the time to keep the grass in good condition, so come the autumn we will add more flower and vegetable beds, create a more manageable area close to the deck, and paths that wind around the wild grasses and trees.  

I like the effect of natural gardens, so it will be fun trying to build it, and not so depressing watching the lawn dry out and die.

Now back to the present, we sold the bed frame to a great couple who want to install it in their home as a spare bed for an elderly relative.

I spent a long time talking to them about their house and the business he runs.

 Another commission came in.  This time we have to refinish a dresser and bed frame, it looks like bed frames are the thing at the moment.

There is also a mirror that is in need of some care and attention.

I made some progress on the kitchen island, I managed to glue up the second division frame.

However, with all this new work, space will be a problem, but commissions pay better than Marketplace pieces.
