Mrs. Augie was hard at her flower beds over the weekend. I brought two loader buckets of compost up and replenished a couple of the beds that were lacking. The giant mound of horse poop that we cleaned out of the barn last weekend has been moved to the compost heap, along with two of the winter round bale piles.
I didn't get anything accomplished in the kitchen garden, but now that we've got light in the evening I should be able to get some stuff planted this week.
I spent quite a bit of time working on the pond dam. I'm at he point now that I've started to work on the landscaping. I placed ~8 cubic yards of crushed stone on the dam, and got started filling in the low spots with topsoil. I caught one muskrat last week, and it might have been the only one in there. The water has cleared up dramatically since the rat was dispatched.
This is one of the spots that was damaged during the Great Muskrat Invasion of 2020. I don't think anyone was home when I ran the tractor over it, but if they were they will be staying there.
I think it's going to look nice when I'm finished.
