*** Project *** (part 1 )


My long awaited project is about finished



I cut out the support blocks for the cattle panel



I went a little overboard and used lag bolts to hold the supports together.



Then I painted them with white paint.



An item that initially didn't cross my mind.. the need for blocks at the bottom to keep the wind from bashing the cattle panel against the side of the building.



Then I hung up the cattle panel to the side of the shed..



I knew exactly what I wanted to plant; Pole beans, Peas, carrots and beets.



Here's the layout.



Then came the tough part.... hand tilling the soil with a potato fork. Deep tilling where the carrots and beets are to be planted.

 JD is doing fine so I set out on the projects I had planned for yesterday; powerwashing the east brick patio. It is now clean and ry ready for the herbicide to keep the grass and weeds at bay.

Great to hear that JD is OK and can get back to work after crashing the Ram pickup.

This was spread over several days Roger; drying time of the paint along with MUTTs, JD, Laundry and house chores.
