Wildflower seeds take off!

I must have timed this just right, because my wildflower seeds are popping! May 31st. Just two weeks after I planted them.

Greatroom

This is the inside of the great room. Pretty cool looking up at the sky. Hard to imagine we will live here one day.

My landscape project

I want to establish a wildflower garden just on the outside edge of the easement. This will soften the transition into the meadow area. We tilled and enriched the soil over the winter. Then on Mother’s Day weekend, I set down seeds and covered with wheat straw. Fingers crossed…I don’t have ability to water this area. Let Mother Nature do her work!

The photo below, shows the area where the septic field will be. We will also make this a wildflower garden. Septic has not yet been installed.

Framing begins

Framing in progress April - May 2024

We recently discovered that our address is 17 Woodtrail Way (not 15). Buncombe County surprised us.
