A very comfortable 65F and partly cloudy @ 11:00, heading up to around 77F for the day’s high.
Got hopper and both tube feeders refilled first thing yesterday. Also both suet feeders, plus scattered some seed for the ground feeders.
Hauled down 3 bucket loads of wood chips to mulch an edge of the west planting bed.
Went back up after that and grabbed a bucket load of screened compost.
Got another 2 arbs planted. 7 total so far, only 3 left to go.
That used up all the planting holes I had drilled.
Got one bill scheduled for payment while taking a break.
Cleaned out some weeds and vines growing under a couple of evergreens and gave them a little pruning .
Think they’re a spruce and white pine that got stuck in the ground on a temporary basis when we were planting all the bare roots 20 years ago and got tired.
It ended up being permanent and they are now over 8’ tall. And too close to each other. So one will need removed.
Dumped remainder of screened compost in bucket by the 3 winter squash I planted over by the southeast corner of the house.
Some trellis work done on pumpkins in back.
Did manage to sneak over to garden for a quick look just before it got dark.
The Hubbard Blue we put in a sling has outgrown that and is now wedged into the cattle panel … so will have to see if we can extricate that and free it up. It’s about the size of a large cantaloupe or honeydew melon.
Or at least it was last night … who knows how big it is now …
Pole beans are starting to bloom.
Think today will be the day we spend some time in the garden trying to get caught up.
Hope everyone is having a decent Saturday …
