The place where I Pot is all messed up and covered in dirt and stuff by the time I am done. I have to declutter this year. (Swedish Death Cleaning?)
I had problems with a locust tree that sent sprouts up along the back side of the house. I have sprouts popping up 70 feet from the tree! Pulled up a cinder block sidewalk and removed 8 or nine small locust trees and about 25 feet of root from the main tree out in the front of the house. (Removed as much as possible and where the root was detached from the main tree painted it with stump killer) Dealt with a number of chipmuck burrows under the back porch patio at the same time. (A slab on grade patio turned into a back porch.)
In the same area was a Gum Tree too close to the house. It was cut down four years ago and a stump was rotting in the ground. Pulled up as much now rotted roots as possible, filled with as much soil as possible, bought more, tamped it down. I ended up putting in a small retaining wall and extending the sidewalk into a patio using 8' x 16' x 2' cement pavers. Not a Martha Stewart production, but a lot safer than what I had. (So...How I spent 3-4 weeks of the last weeks of my life.)
‘Swedish Death Cleaning’
That’s the plan for my Greenhouse by the weekend, too!
I have a picture to post of the ‘Harvard Square’ tomato for you. You will be impressed! Uploading photos today at some point. I’ll ping ya.
Putting off mowing for another day. No company coming, so who sees it but me? A few things outside need watering, and it was so windy yesterday that two Mums blew off the porch, so I need to tend to them with some fresh soil and a good watering.
