We have several terraced beds that hubby built this year. So that took a lot of time. Not sure whether he is going to plant anything in them this year or not.

Today he was busy using the wood chipper on the limbs he trimmed off the trees that were hitting the roof on the house.

Wished I had a chipper. Last year I finished taking down over 20 50’ Afghan Pines that were up and dead around the house at the farm. I cut the trunks into firewood. But there were a great many loads of slash off the trees that I carried to the burn pile at the farm. It would have made excellent mulch. I did keep a fair amount of the Bark off the trees for that purpose, just placing the planks of bark around trees. Only problem with that, it invites cockroaches. We never had them at the farm until the Afghan Pines died. (too big, too close together and the “great 5 year drought”.
