Fixin and planting



When we finished the planting boxes around the koi pond, way back when, there were many things we did not anticipate. Firstly we filled the whole boxes with cinder, covering up the outlets and their covers that were in each one. All of the outlets are on one GFCI circuit, so when the lights went out, we had to dig around to figure which outlet had the reset button.
Also, we sunk pots in the cinder and figured we could just stick pots w/o those, so we could easily move plants around.
We didn't realize that the coqui frogs would love that space between the 2 pots so much. When coquis get in that area, their song just echoes so LOUDLY through the house, it's insane.

So slowly, we've been digging out the outlets and planting directly in pots.

Here we took all of the plants we have and laid them out. Unfortunately we found that most of the plants here don't like any sun, and 2 of the boxes get sun.
GB digging cinder. It's HAAARD work!
