Good Morning from the Seattle area Diana.
Did I ever tell you how blessed we are to have you caretaking this thread each week....bringing us gardeners together?
Well...I just did.
I have been redoing my entire backyard garden.
Yesterday was cleanup day. As you know these big projects all have multiple smaller projects within the huge one.
Well I decided yesterday would be “finish small projects and cleanup day.
I got a bunch of little things done. Moved the herb Barden out if a wooden crate and into a newly excavated and laid out planting bed. That bed is partially beneath a for tree so we shall see how the herbs due in partial shade. I think they will do well enough. I don’t need massive quantities of herbs.
Planted Shiso seed (1st time) and will hope to enjoy it in a couple of months.
Moved and consolidated/organized all my lumber and PVC pipes into a spot out of the way.
Dug out a rotted decaying old railroad tie that has been at the fencline for 25 years....shoveled it up and the 3 inches of soil beneath it. I am going to plant an apple tree there next year so I want to leave the spot exposed to the elements to help nature remove any of the remaining Whatevers that leeched out of the railroad tie over the years.
Started some additional seeds in the greenhouse. Noticed my 1st San Marzano seed start poking through the potted soil....5 days to 1st sprout is pretty good.
Ran some small sticks through the electric wood chipper.
Put away many tools etc that were getting left laying around.
It is supposed to dump rain today starting in an hour so I have almost no plans other than gathering free garden tools I found on Next door.
May even pay attention to the wife for a bit.
Thank you for the compliment - glad to do it!
You got a LOT accomplished, today - I did, too. Taking a late lunch break right now to see what everyone else is up to!
What kind of wood chipper do you have? I want one in the worst way (electric) because we have a LOT of trees in the yard and I spend 99.999% of my time picking up fallen twigs and branches and I HATE paying for wood mulch when I could be making my own.
