Last summer my kids and I decided to make a fire pit as a summer project. After some trial and error it came out great and we are enjoying it to this day. This summer we are going to take on another project....a cob oven! Yay, I've been wanting to make one for about 3 years now and I think this year will be the year that we get it done. So, with my "Build your own earth oven" book in hand and reading over others blogs and experiences Like this one "The Clay Oven" , I'm going for it! OK, I do still have to gather some supplies. For one, I have to buy clay because I haven't been able to find much near my place. There is allot of sand and volcanic rock! My car is rather small so I can't haul a whole bunch in it from other parts of town. My first step for now is gathering the materials for the Plinth. Thinking of making mine out of cinder blocks for the outside and filling it with stuff I already have. Hopefully, I will have this part done soon.
I'm also giving my raised bed square foot garden another try this spring. Last spring/summer was a disaster and disappointment. Almost took apart my box and threw it into the road in rage!!! BUT instead I decided I'm going to build 2 more boxes and give it another go. Hopefully by the middle of summer I will be baking pizzas and bread with fresh veggies and herbs from my garden. :-D
