Got the front yard trimmed after work. Looks a lot better. Though I do need to add more sprinklers because there are large areas brown or bare. I removed some sprinklers when I hit them with the weed whacker last year. I have the parts and don't need to buy anything, just put a small amount of work into it.
Got some seeds in the mail today for purple carrots and Pride of Madeira flowers. I had ordered them in February. They were sent from China but they didn't ship them until 4/22/13. Guess I'll keep the carrot seeds and plant them in late summer because it will be too warm for them to germinate soon. The flowers I'll get started soon because they don't bloom until the second year of growth.
Trying to talk myself into the energy to straighten out the work shop. Got a little of it done earlier but stopped to get the front yard done, so the place doesn't look quite so trashy.
Pretty good timing. They're supposed to have some really large dumpsters at the park down the street on 5/24/14. I can dispose of a bunch of scrap wood that's in condition I can't use for much of anything.
Later-
Got started on the work shop. Didn't get too far but at least I can walk in there and can see part of the table tops. Some things moved to the shed. Get more done tomorrow.
Took the sawdust from the table saw and cut up the rest of an old watermelon and hauled that stuff out to the compost. Think it should do some good. Learned what I had not known, that the puppies while they were invading the garden had displaced the black plastic sheeting on top of the compost. Figures. So, that got set back and will be longer until I know if it does any good. Have to check it further tomorrow to make sure they didn't chew up the water line. (Like that would be a surprise?) It was too dark to see it tonight.
