We drove up Thursday night and came home on Friday afternoon. The family is coming to my house for my dad's birthday on Saturday evening.
- We bought these two water containers off of Craig's List for $75 each. We are going to use them to collect rain water. They each hold 250 gallons. They are taller than I am. Actually, I think we are going to give one of them away. In order to collect water efficiently, there has to be a gutter coming off the roof leading into the opening in the top of the container. Well, they are pretty unsightly, and I don't want it sitting next to the house. So we'll put a gutter on the shed, and the cistern can sit next to the shed out of the line of sight. I don't want one next to the house. So we will only have need for one of them. We can't put a gutter on the Greenhouse because the container is taller than the Greenhouse - the gutter system won't work. These things are really big!
- I worked in the Orchard Friday morning. I pulled up all the salvias. They were overgrown, and they were no longer blooming. I pulled up lots weeds. I sprayed herbicide. I hauled off 4 wheelbarrows of debris. I deadheaded zinnias.
- I planted green beans in a bed in the Orchard that I prepared last weekend.
- The okra is doing really well. Looks very pretty, about one foot tall.
- I watched the butterflies throughout the day. They fill me with a sense of well being.
- Sprayed herbicide in the Vegetable Garden and the Star Garden.
- Good day.
