Two More Trees

Today I cut down two more of the trees that are on our fence line. I don't like using the chainsaw but these had to go so that we can rototill the garden. It is already late, all of the rain and the RG project has put me behind. One of the trees landed in the area we tilled last year and the other in the area we want to expand into this year. We will almost double the size of the garden.

My father, Louis, nephew Todd and myself did most of the work. Nephew Joshua helped with the rope and pulling the trees to make sure they fell where we wanted then to. I know it sounds like we don't know what we are doing, but well, I'm not good with the chainsaw and we don't want the tree to go into the neighbors house. It went well and nothing went wrong, they both fell right where we wanted them to.

You can see how far I got cutting them up. I ran out of gas, the saw was fine, I just couldn't cut anymore. I will try to work on it Monday. But of course we are getting more rain on Monday. It is suppose to be dry the rest of the week though. Take a look at the burn up pile we have. Still have a little more to go on it. I will let it dry out the then do a quick and controlled burn.

As soon as I can I will till and fence in the garden area. We do have a lot of plants ready to go in. We have a grow light setup. Okra on the right, kohlrabi on the left. There are bell peppers in the blue cups and sunflowers to their left. We have tomatoes, broccoli, brussels sprouts and celery started also. I hope to get all of these in the ground this week.

There is spinach and lettuce already coming up in the raised bed. The yard is a disaster, but I did get the front lawn mowed this afternoon.
