Sunday Funday [NOT 6/3/22]

Thank you, Moira Rose, for this gem.

Hi friends!

It’s the end of the weekend. Did you get stuff done? Did you get some nice time to relax?

Yesterday I did a lot of yard work to prep for the garden. Pro tip – moving raised beds is a pain in the ass so try to pick the right spot the first time around. Am I done with the yard cleanup yet? Nope. Did I finish prepping the other raised bed (that I didn’t move)? Absolutely not. Did I even start the front yard work yet? Hahahahahahha no. But at least those raised beds are moved and ready!

  1. We had two trees removed because their roots were causing our driveway slabs to rise and crack. The trees and privacy they provided will be missed. The silver lining is that we now get enough sunlight to plant things! I’m going to reread Butcher’s gardening posts and maybe attempt to grow food.

  2. Planned out the theoretical start dates for our seeds.  Took Butcher Dog for a run with the bicycle leash…and wound up spending an hour tracking a rat mutt through the woods because the lady who was walking her couldn’t bother to keep the leash looped around her wrist and lost the dog.

  3. Went for a run, did a bunch of laundry, and got enough other stuff done that I actually felt productive. Which was much-needed. Cooking vegetables and pasta tonight for the week ahead.

  4. We put in some native plants, witch hazel and some magnolia trees.  I wanted alien plants but my wife said nah.  I’ve been playing too much No Man’s Sky.

    • Nice! I have been trying to plant more native plants in the hopes of helping the insects and having an easier time with them staying alive.

      Expect brown marmorated stink bugs. I kill those as soon as I can find them. As eggs. As nymphs through all 5 instars.
