Greetings from southern New Hampshire!

Yesterday was definitely a “ball buster”! I sanded the top of the footings for the raised bed in our Plata Sungrow 26’ greenhouse and added 3” of sand to the base this past week. Yesterday, Barb did a superb job of laying the three 48’ heating cables. The bed is 18’ by 2’.

Yesterday, I moved and placed about 72 8” by 8” by 16” cement blocks, with 36 capstones. Today, I am sifting and moving 5-gallon buckets of compost to file to the bottom of the capstones. Barb has wonderful plants started and is ready to populate the raised bed. I have plenty of other projects.

Our 14 new chickens (12 hens and 2 accidental roosters) have moved to the new chicken coop and run, separated from the two hens and one accidental rooster from last year. That rooster was named “Satchmo”, but after giving me two large dueling wounds on my right cheek (Don’t ask!) is now named “Satan”. He is going to be re-homed or I may kick his ass across the “Rainbow Bridge”!

Once the raised bed is done, I will need to get our garden watering system pressurized and repair it. Then there is the garden fence expansion.

Oh, Lord! Please wait, I have too much to do on Earth!

LOL! Love that! :)

And I’ve had a couple of mean roosters through the years, too. They’re psychotic!
