Greetings from southern New Hampshire!
We are in the midst of the gardening kick-off and I am busting hump supporting the boss. I cleared the hardware from Murderers’ Row and need to clear the pathways and weed.
I finally got my string trimmer repaired and operational. Now, I need to get the walk-behind lawn mower running so I can clear the paths between the raised beds.
The asparagus bed I planted last year is pushing up bounty, which of course will be allowed to grow.
Our first duckling debuted two days ago. We have five hens setting and hopefully, we will have a nice addition to our flock this summer.
I am working on the two posts I am adding to our back deck next to our new sunroom. They are ready to attach to the side of the deck, and then add railings and panels. It will give us an easy and straight-forward access to the deck. This sunroom sure adds to our house. Makes it seem so much more spacious and bright.
I need to change the watering system in the greenhouse. Barb ordered an Alexa enabled smart two zone unit and I am going to attach it to the extra hose bib that I added when I repaired the water system in April. It will allow for irrigation of the new half-barrel raised planters in two groups of four planters each. If it works, we will add them to the other side of the greenhouse and eventually to the area where we have the bog filter planter beds.
Well, I better finish hydrating and get my butt in gear.
We’ll be in Fitzwilliam next weekend for our granddaughter’s hs graduation, so I’ll be waving to you and Metmom from the top of Mt. Monadnock. :)
We’ve had a wet and rather cool spring, but the garden is finally planted, except for a few more marigolds. The usda map says we’re in zone 6b, but just barely, so I use 6a as my guide.:) This week is supposed to be rainy, so I figure that it will be time to start weeding and thinning the corn, when we get back.
Love this list and read it daily, just not much of a poster. Will try to post every now and again since there doesn’t seem to be anybody else from my neck of the woods on here. :) (southeast part of north central WV)
