Diary of a Boy Gardener

We are in the Berkshires, the beautiful rolling hills of western Massachusetts where the season is short and the frosts sometimes win. Visit Sally and David's Gardens and see how two old farts spend their time helping what plants they can find their place in this world.

Another wonderful day. Sunny and hot, but not humid and some breeze. Delightful !!!
So what did they do? Well David spent more morning time doing web stuff. It's amazing how all these free tools have populated the web so that if you need a graphic heading you just find a tool like WebGFX to create it. So the borrowed generic Welcome has been replaced by some transparant gifs in a font called NewLandContour. Later in the morning work was in order and he started by working some on the cinder block corner. Dug down and found the other end of the old sewer pipe which will serve to take water from the sump pump and put it in gravel behind the soon to be build retaining wall. Then put three one inch pipes thru for electric, water supply and spare to the upper garden. Then added two rounds of mortor mix into the crevices. Later in the day it was path definition time for David in the upper garden. Mucho progress there.
Sally did her usual Sunday morning paper and TV th ing and then attacked the vegetable and back gardens, planting and cleaning. With all the rain the weeds seem to thrive, so carts are being pulled and hauled. They feel close to under control, but it's never enough ...!!!!
