On this Memorial Day weekend we got a lot done. The big thing for me was getting the pole on the barn and the roof joist re-attached before hurricane season. Yeah, it made it through some bad hurricanes so far but no need to continue to take that chance.
Ted had pushed up all the junk trees from behind the barn that he could get to and we burned the two piles. Cut grass and trimmed under fences with new Swisher line trimmer. Sprayed Roundup and Remedy on many places.
Re-arranged rooms in the house and took some of the old furniture to Goodwill. Set up outside play room (kennel) for the dogs.
Blue berries are beginning to ripen and the figs will be ripening soon. The roses we planted had really bloomed but had just fallen and so we saw a lot of dead blooms.
The Driskell’s drove up with two tremendous 16-row planters about 3PM and planted the entire north field with cotton before it got really dark. Was pleased to see they are keeping the tradition as to when things are done at Sundown Farms.
The list of what we accomplished is below.
