Here's another photo of our rock garden. Who knew that many giants (our excavators called them dinosaur eggs) were lurking under the surface? The large one in the foreground (just behind and to the right of the concrete form) is the one starring in an earlier post as it was - reluctantly - being pried out of the ground.
A temporary stair put in for the workers. ^ That's a big hole.
A view to the left ^
This even deeper hole (above) is for the holding tank that will be installed in the basement. We have decided to install it for a future bathroom in the basement, although we're not planning on putting anything in ourselves. However if a future owner DID want a functional bathroom in the basement, they will thank us a lot for the foresight. Putting a tank in later would be a _really_ big pain. Also note: no water at the bottom. I think we're very unlikely to have any water problems in this basement.
And finally some more produce from the garden! We planted purple cauliflower for the first time this year & are interested to see how it tastes (it's pretty good raw). We know that the yellow "Cheddar" cauliflower is quite good. We're going to roast a mixture of purple and yellow cauliflower along with some beets, carrots, onions and potatoes. The potatoes and onions are the only items that won't come out of the garden. Lisa is also holding some figs, tomatoes and, of course, the inevitable zucchini.
