We tied the goats out today, along the lane to the lilikoi cabin. they ate some of the nahiku, and lay around on it...
I spent some of the morning planting peanut, then when the sun got hotter I moved onto weedwhacking. started to reclaim the nursery hardening off area, which has just totally gotten invaded by long grass, damn it. my efforts to recycle old tarps and bits of plastic and carpet really didn't do the same job as weedmat. I charred the remains of the pallets, to throw into the banana pits... excavated around the two dead cars. lorinda thinks she is going to get a deal on the work she has arranged for the mercedes by giving mango the junk mercedes. we just have to figure out how to get it there.
so, I have been tidying up, but it is not before time really...
if we can get a welder for Tim he will turn the vw into a trailer for hauling mulch and lillikoi etc around the property. we would just need the tractor to pull it!
at the end of the day I tried to unearth some trees on the loomis lane berm. I guess they are rainbow showers or yellow showers or something? I'm not sure. They are some kind of legume anyway. There are like four or five of them over there... They had like, 7 feet tall nahiku growing up through their branches. I hope they feel a bit better now.
Realised that the tree with fruit over there is the gourd tree. Remember, I was asking you about it and you had no idea either? Well, today I uncovered a dried one, and it was obvious... Do you know what I am talking about? THe old Hawaiians used them as shakers in the hula I guess.
