Don, great looking potatoes, some big ones in there for reds. I'm impressed by your melons, you have so many critters I'm surprised something doesn't eat it. Me too....figured it would require a big fence I didn't have.

My garden has a hog fence and a rabbit fence around it. Coons will still get the corn but at 6 for $1 I just get corn at the store. Whipper has also been good at keeping the deer away.

14C/57F at 9am and adding a few more degrees to that as the day goes by. I have a few patches of nettles that are getting high enough to hide a lamb, so time to get the Stihl brush cutter out and trim those back today.
Bakerg, I would consider excavating to the side of the jack and build up a little pier of bricks, then take the jack out the next day when the mortar has gone off, before filling with concrete. Or is sacrificing a jack a traditional way of celebrating the arrival of June in Ontario ?

Drinking first cup of coffee. 48ｰ with some clouds this morning. Heading to 72ｰ with partly cloudy skies. Put off cutting lawn until today. Need to make a run to Sam's Club for gas. I did get everything ready to clean up stump and trees. But not on to do list yet.
Don, good looking crop.
Good Morning All.

68 going up to 86 today, warm humid day, weather seems to be slowly drying out but some afternoon showers again possible.
Which means it's time to get busy this morning.
Had some sweet corn for dinner last night, it was five for a dollar out of Florida.
Larro, you getting some of that local corn?
Happy June everyone.

that's good, are you back hard at work?
I need to spray the orchards and need a few dry days for that. Plus I have to patch my own driveway at the edges.
While I'll be down there with a trowel, I'll be thinking of you Buppies as you command a fleet of machines putting down
something similar. Have decided to put in a lip of sorts reinforcing the edge of the paved driveway for about thirty feet, so
the trucks don't keep breaking the edge of the driveway when they go offroad headed back to the barn.
I have some leftover rebar I might add to the mix. Was going to just bring the level up better with dirt but that would mess
up my water drainage. Just need a stronger edge. Right now I have some 2x4x12s in the lawn and that sure doesn't look good.
Originally I was going to put in an ABC crusher run gravel driveway through the lawn in that spot, but would like to avoid that project
if I can. The trucks already make the lawn bumpy and slightly rutted in that area, but at least it's green bumpy. With sandy soil very little mud here
so a day or two after a heavy rain, crossing lawns is fine.
I also have another ground level project; how to make the cut through the woodline over to the new nut orchard look nice. It's humped in the middle, intentionally, so water off the field can't get into my back yard. But what to cover it with. I could always dump shade grass seed on it, but TxDon and others are real motivators here. What about pavers and then just plain red brick or something a little more elaborate. Has to support a loaded tractor's weight. Not so easy to do when it's not flat so I'm likely to revert to some grass until I get motivated.
