Putting in Corn Rows

A Tiller The Hon'

About a month late, but the ground is about ready for veggies. Pearce got this picture from the weeping cherry. I think that tree may survive (I had wanted to eliminate it last year). It seems there might be cherries on it. Also, it was really pretty this spring (it was really pathetic last year). First time I've seen it with flowers on it.

Woops

Sorry, I forgot to take a picture. I was doing some finishing passes in the back yard when I made a sharp left and the right front wheel went right. &$@€><?!*^%+•=¥~#. Well, I buried the axel in the dirt and left it to finish edging. When the edging was done I went back with a jack (the kind that we had in the Darts) and levered the mower up onto bricks and put the wheel back on. Yep, I'm brilliant. I did get the mower back into the garage, sloowwwlly.

How this happened.

The right front JD wheel has a tire with a slow leak in it. The folks at Rome Lawnmower Repair didn't bother to fix the flat when they had it in to get it ready for mowing. Well, I put a wheel and tire I had kept from Roy's tractor. That wheel happens to be narrower than the JD. Now, when a wheel slides side to side on the axle eventually the c ring holding the wheel on will come loose and fall off.

Gonna have to fix that.

I'm am not happy I forgot the picture.

Got Tiller Will Till

I borrowed a tiller from the Jones' and will get to the tilling on the next non rainy day (hopefully Saturday).

Got a Load of ... Recycled Grass

Ken Davis brought me a trailer load of "recycled grass" today. Once I get it unloaded I think I am going to borrow the Jones' tiller to prep a little growing plot.
I have filled all of my containers for use around the house and on the deck. I'm not sure what will get put where, but I am ready to plant stuff.
Oh, yeah. Claire snuck up beside the trailer and got a little dirt shower. She brushed the trailers side and caused a mini-landslide. That would be why she's sprinting for open ground.
