It was a rough week here in Central Missouri. The weather wasn't bad, but the cortisone injection at L4/L5 that was done on 5/2 had me fairly well gimped until the 10th. It feels better now but UGH!

I felt good enough on Saturday to mow the yard. Should have stayed on the couch. I ran over a flake of old hay and that stuff jammed the mowing deck so hard it snuffed the engine and smoked the PTO clutch. It won't even try to spin the blades now. Two weeks minimum to get it in and out of the Kubota doctor. Not good when the grass is growing an inch a day. UGH!

But it wasn't all bad. I'm mostly finished moving dirt to the new garden patch. I've got quite a bit saved back that I'll use to smooth things out after the winter freeze/thaw cycles settle it in, but there's enough out there now that I can put my tomato and rhubarb plants in the ground and stick some seeds in the dirt.

If we get a few more timely rain showers the wild blackberry crop is going to be tremendous this year.

So sorry for your ‘physical’ troubles. The new garden area looks great!

That soil looks good enough to eat with a spoon! ;)
