It was supposed to rain last night and today, but thankfully, only the odd sprinkles. The river is high and dirty. Mosquitoes are forming squadrons! I was out pulling weeds for a while. Went and dumped out all the standing water I could find.
I got one planting bed done with potatoes. Have been digging up soil, adding sand and manure, plus peat moss. Taking out rocks and roots. My first potato plant in another bed is up.
Built a tomato cage today for 4 plants. Still need to paint more boards and tack on chicken wire, then attach...
The guys came and cut down 10 or more trees that were too close to the house. I hated it. My dogwood had to go too, despite wanting to keep it for the wild birds to land in near the feeder. Too close to the big trees. Sigh.
