Drew, there are all kinds of trailer hitches and brackets for lawn tractors on Amazon. Moving the trailer would be pretty easy with the lawn tractor.
Good morning!!!!

73F more clouds than sun today,
Around 8:30am heavens open up and fill my back pockets full of wet
an hour later good lighting thunder show several mins. steady rain...guess our NH W...9 miss again.
Final got the side field mow some places need second cutting thick grass,sure wouldn't want to set in parts of field where lots small wild strawberries are with white pants or shorts.
About time kick the tire and light fire throw something on the grill,looks to be quite evening on the deck waiting for critters and stars.
Enjoy your evening all.
5 gallons gas for mowers and trimer,about 8 gallons for pickup...$65.

Good late (Wednesday) morning. Another mild overnight low of 4.6C, it's partly cloudy with a gentle breeze and the high could reach 13C.
Up 'early' as I needed to be at my Church by 0900. Our Minister is going on vacation for a month and I volunteered to manage (open up and distribute) our "Anglicare" storeroom of free furnishings (previously 'loved') to those in need. I got that done (key received) and proceeded into town for mail and to pick up some scripts at the Chemist.
Then I filled up the ute at the petrol station. A$2.18 per litre of 91 unleaded, but I have an RACT membership (like AAA or CAA for my NA Mates) that knocks A$0.06 off per litre... Even with the discount (A$3.00) it was A$104.00 for 3/4 tank.
Groceries done and put away. Wood is in for the day/night. Nothing else 'pressing' for the rest of the day.
Take care all.

Drew, at that cost, you could fly ME out there and I'll move the trailer for you!

It was a good day, got the framework up for the picket fence. Not a big area, only fencing in an area between the old rehabbed garden shed, the hobby shack, and the existing fence run. Overall, the area is only about 14' x16', but that will give Max some more area and he'll have 2 trees for some shade.
It went so easy, I decided to start putting up the pickets. Got about 3/4 of the way, and the wifey called for dinner. Pizza hit the spot, then a real treat, she made homemade blueberry cheesecake..... it was scrumptious!
Being all the tools were still out there, I figured that I'd finish the pickets on the new sections. Tomorrow, I will take down a section of existing fence and move it over to go between the two sheds. That will finish up the project.
I probably should have just finished it today, but just got too tired. Being the section is all assembled already, it will take longer to get the tools out than to move the section!

Wagtail, those gas (petrol) prices are outrageous! Over $8.25 a gallon (if my calcs are correct).

66F and clear @ 21:50, calling for an overnight low of 57F. More of that good sleeping weather on tap.
High hit 88.5F here today and we were both out in it, in the sun, pretty much all day long.
Rearranged plants and watered all plants out front.
Refilled one suet feeder.
Repaired Water Buffalo and set it to filling.
Woman had a mind to get the rest of the plants She was given with the Calla lilies the other day planted.
So we collected up a variety of tools in the dump cart and went up to assess the prospective site along the road. That ended up being a no-go, ground was like concrete and full of roots, no way to dig it short of the PHD or grapple.
So we settled on the area in front of the shop, where I had used the PHD several years ago to drill a bunch of holes on a 2' spacing (the place where the Yarrow and Salvia are planted) The holes were then filled with screened compost, which at this point had basically deteriorated to straight dirt.
We used the B and D string trimmer to cut down all the weeds, raked those up and put them in buckets. They later got added to the compost pile.
The 4 gallons of water we had brought was inadequate to the task of watering the holes which were now about like concrete. Very dry ground, with lots of large 1/2" wide cracks.
So I unhooked the dump cart and went down retrieved the WB and brought it up and proceeded to give each hole 2 gallons of water which pretty much disappeared immediately. It did wet things enough so that I was able to dig the holes out so new soil could be put in and the plants planted.
Plant.ID identified these other plants as Campanula glomerata (Clustered Bellflower):
... which we split into 6 plantings.
Should look something like this, once they have grown a bit and bloom (assuming they survive):
After we got those planted I went down and got one of the Asclepias tuberosa (Butterfly Weed):
And the four Asclepias incarnata "Soulmate" (Soulmate Swamp Milkweed):
Got all those planted and well watered in (2 gallons per plant), had to make one trip over to the pile to get some more screened compost.
She used some of the remaining water to water around some of the salvia and yarrow which loosened things up enough that She was able to get one of the salvia weeded.
There were a snotload of Japanese beetles up there, those all got sprayed down with neem oil solution.
After we finished, took the dump cart down and unloaded it and then went back up and got the WB and took it around back and hooked it up and started to fill it.
While that was happening I headed back up and got most of the compost/wood lot mowed.
Came back down to check on the WB and sat in the lawn chair while it finished filling.
Once that was done, I watered all the summer squash, the day lilies (both planted and potted), and the asparagus.
At that point the water pressure was low so I called it done and headed around front and moved the plants inside and closed up.
All in all, a reasonably productive day.
Hope everyone had a great one ...
