We're in a mad dash to get soooo much stuff done by the 15th!
The other day we re-painted our white fence. Today I cut off the extra picket tops and cut new boards to fill in where old ones rotted out and vanished, as well as cut support wood. Lost the nails and screws, so tomorrow we are picking some up. Will be using those support wood sections to screw/nail into the horizontal boards on the fence and then into the post, it's all old and rotting on the ends, but still over all good enough to just repair and it's still dandy!
Used the hand saw to cut 35 lbs of weeds and grass from the garden, easier than scissors and better than a weed whacker which just scatters the grass all over! Fed it to the pigs! Got about 20 potatoes into the ground in random spots, 14 more potatoes to find a spot for....
Dug 4 long trenches for corn on the hill, going to make half of it corn. Have the corn soaking in water for a slight head start!
Need to paint the barn, buy steel wool to close up mouse holes....there's a ton other stuff, but I forget... Still have the downed tree to hire out to have chopped up, can't plant the two flower trees until the logs are gone... Want to get more pumpkin, cucumber and watermellon seeds into the ground. Need to find a spot and then clean it out for them still.
So little time! Cannot wait for it to all be growing!
