Planted 10 textilis up there on the loomis rd side the other day, watered them in from barrels on the back of the truck, since we don't have the money to buy the pipe we need. but we had a nice rain of 8mm which will help to settle them in, and it really was time to get them out of their pots. we have a couple more in big planters that can go in a bit later.
tim is closer to understanding the wiring on the 8N, so maybe it will be running again soon.
I hope so. I have been killing myself with the weedeater, and although the tractor would only work in some of the places I have been weedeating, it would make a big psychological diff to have a mowing deck running. I would like to mow a bunch before the rains come back, so that we have a bunch of straw mulch saved to use on plantings in the winter...
Today I concentrated on cleaning up around the barn mostly, getting ready for showing it to new renters I guess. I also wacked the grass in the chicken run under the swale, and will start throwing the piles of mulch generated from tidying up around the barn in there to catch all the chicken manure and suppress the grass from coming back.
I wonder if we'll be able to buy those dwarf citrus for that area, ever...
