A Gardener's Diary

[nowwhat2]

Boy, we're talkin' heat=wave here !.....It is almost 70 !
Not much rain though (which is weird). Just numerous cloudy days.






Headin' out now tho to get back into the sun
Landscaping the inside of this riding ring - All along its' fence :
First fluffed then blew away a lot of moss,
Now leveling it better so's a tow-behind harrow can keep it cultivated
Which involes a pitchfork, a pick, a shovel, a soil screen, a wheelbarrow to haul away 3 or four loads of rocks......
Whoever built the thing screwed up this 100 ft. stretch
I simply caretake the 12 acre place for the owner where.....
I'm winning what's now been a three year war against weeds....
I once actually had to weed-eat that whole riding ring (then blow all the seed heads off) !
Between doing that and Roundup and rounding up a great "chain" harrow (which gets towed around by just a John Deere ride on mower,
We've landscaped the thing into a maintainable status (least that's what we're workin' towards).











Can just see the north east corner of the riding ring here (so this is basically looking east towards N. America the continent).





Got stalls for 6 horses but've never had to have any



Nuff work around here as it is....
