Nice Easter

It was a decent Easter. However, my alarm didn't go off. Unfortunately I did not realize it was after MN when I looked at it and the display said "tomorrow at 6:30 AM. So, daughter woke up and no eggs were hidden. Told her I had backup, so grabbed the stuff and hid eggs while she watched TV. 

So, this is probably the last year she will believe in the Easter Bunny. That's okay, not my favorite holiday icon and the most useless IMHO. 

She chased butterflies and tried to catch a bird. Meanwhile, I trimmed grape vines and sprayed weed killer and ground clear to try and get things going the right direction. Those chemicals are only for the area outside the food garden. 

We already have thousands of tiny little grapes forming on one vine. 

I grilled hot dogs, bratwurst and hamburgers for lunch. Had those with applesauce and strawberries. She loved all of that!

Dropped her off early this afternoon as her mother asked. Went to Home Depot. Mulch and weed fabric no longer on sale. Knew about the mulch, just confirmed in person. Didn't know about the weed fabric. Picked up a few coonectors for the drip system and went to Big Lots. Their regular price on weed fabric is $6 for 3x45 ft, so got two. 

Got the 5 gal container of battery acid on the way home. Applied that to all the trees I'm trying to kill. Dug a small hole at the base of each, to roots level and either filled with water then poured in straight acid or mixed a strong solution and poured that in, depending on how well I could reach with the hose. See what transpires from that. Used at least a full quart for each tree, with more for larger trees. 

Planted out tomatoes and pumpkins this evening. Applied weed fabric and mulch for the tomatoes. Not all the tomatoes are planted out but a decent number. Do more soon. 

Meant to plant the sugar cane tonight but mulching the tomatoes took too long and it got dark. Put it on the list for tomorrow. I'm tired.
