P-Patch photos from Josh

When I said, “Don’t get me started on the rotting wood,” I thought that Josh might be writing about our P-Patch too, since he took some photos. And since he hasn’t, let me point out that he hauled out a big, heavy load of rotting wood on his bicycle. I don’t know how heavy it was; it was too heavy for me to pick up at the time. So a metric shit-ton of wood went on one Xtracycle wide-loader, and some peonies went on the other one. It was wildly unbalanced. I had to help push the bike up the path out of the garden; it was definitely not rideable. Which didn’t keep him from trying.
That was a long day. I was tuckered out.

Um, why not wood on the bottom, peonies on the top for both sides?

If I’d had two containers the same size, that’s what I would have done. You can’t tell from that photo, but the container with the peonies is a lot smaller than the one with the wood in it–even if I’d loaded them both halfway with wood, the left side would have been much, much heavier. I need to get another of those big containers.

And I should add that the trip was only three blocks or so, so walking it home wasn’t really a big deal. But it was funny. Okay, I guess you had to be there.
