LysmachiaMoon's blog: A concrete kind of day

Posted on Mar 27, 2024 3:23 PM

Very light rain on and off all day, heavy overcast, mild temps.

Lifted, divided, and replanted snowdrops from a big clump up near the deck to about 20 small clumps and singles in the Glade.

Got the first of the two posts set in the hen run. Hiked the 80 pound bag of concrete mix up the hill in easy stages, mixed, poured, now we wait for it to set up.

Finished off what was left of a bag of mortar...perfect amount to set 7 concrete blocks on the Folly Wall corner. I've got two more blocks (reclaimed/recycled) that I want to top off the corner, but I'll wait until I get another bag of mortar, which I'll need to start slapping on the stone facing over the concrete blocks.

Got my "egg cart" scrubbed and refurbished. This is an old garden cart I painted bright yellow. I put a red cooler in it, haul it to the end of the driveway and sell my extra eggs ($1/dozen, I'm working to bring down the corporate egg industry by underselling them all *mwah ha ha ha* (strokes cat in best super-villain manner).

Pulled the last of the winter cress weeds out of the lower part of the Driveway bed. I am determined to eradicate that weed from the Driveway bed. I think it's pretty much gone from the upper part. I hoick it out anywhere it appears.

Promised a friend I'd give her some pink iris so I may dig those up this evening and deliver in the morning.
Still need to liberate more aconites for the Jungle Cliff, then get mulch for that area.
