Your BCBS plan changes for 2026 are ready

I think the best approach would be to start with the garden beds along the south wall. That area gets the most light and we can plant some herbs and perennials that will come back each year. The soil there drains well so we might want to mix in some compost to help retain moisture during the hotter months. I found a good source for organic soil mix that delivers on weekends so we could schedule that for next Saturday morning before it gets too warm. Let me know if you prefer raised beds or just working directly in the ground.

For the weekend project I was thinking we could tackle the closet reorganization in the spare room. I measured the space and found some modular shelving units that would fit perfectly without needing to cut anything. The hardware kit includes brackets and supports that mount directly into the studs so it should be fairly straightforward if we have a level and a stud finder handy. I can pick up the materials Friday evening after work if that works for you. We might want to sort through the boxes first to see what we want to keep and what can be donated.
