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.

Beautiful Monday !!! Sally and David were off to the upper garden which has been sadly neglected. They spent a good 8 hours each up there already and it started to rain at 4:30 pm. What got done you ask? Well mostly lots and lots and lots of weeding. About 10 wheelbarrows full over the other side of the road. And then David brings back mulch and dresses out the newly weeded beds. They are looking splendid and photo's will link to the calendar for today. Still another day up there to rescue all the poor guys stuck in the weeds, but it should get done if the weather and our health permit.
David has been working the web pages, especially the June page. He was up at 4:15 this morn trying to figure out how to get GIMP to do lossy compression on the jpegs which are at 400K and need to be <100K. Finally got it, now to open ever single one and save as smaller file, less quality (these are 2.2 M to start, taken with a 5M digital camera, so they can afford some loss for the web. Well, the sun is out, so post, publish and break is over!
