Zone 1 cleanup

Zone 1 cleanup is looking good. This is the last day we'll be working this area. It's not perfect. The grass still needs trimming, the plants need fertilizing, and there's a lot of TLC needed here.

But time's up. Today my 1 helper stayed with me for 30 minutes while the neighborhood kids visited us to chat while we worked... That's another 1 hour of work done today.
It looks acceptable enough to move on to the next zone.

Today is the day!

Today we start! Well, it's raining outside, so all I can really do is plan. When the rain stops, I'll get some before pics.
Let's start with Zones and the calendar. Hmm.. if I spend just 15 minutes a day in the zone, how much progress will I make? I will need to take monthly pictures...
