Pond Pictures Ready

Today I put up the pictures of the pond I helped to build a couple of weeks ago. The link is here: How To Make A Fish Pond.

Hey, any pics of your venture into gardening in the USA? heh
Hi Tom,
Your IP Address was included in the reply, so I know it’s you! I’m just in the process of renaming and reorganising them, and then I’ll put them up.

Major Yard Word

Wow, what a great day! Not only did I plow through a lot of email, but I actually got outside!

Thats right, I got out and did some MAJOR YARD WORK. I borrowed a truck from John Harvey, picked up a yard of top soil, then spread it all around the rocks under that big pine tree in my front yard. I fashioned a nice rock garden with all kinds of ground cover perennials, and spread out grass seed on it. I fixed the broken pipe (it burst last winter) for the hose and watered, I planted more perennials (I think I’m spelling that wrong!) in the big front bed, and cut the grass. I spread the remaining top soil around in the back yard, and that’s ready for grass seed now! This was a great day.

The embarrassing thing is I even washed down my driveway. I used to mock old guys who wash down their driveway, but now that I actually own my own driveway, it’s quite fullfilling. It’s like watching my computer defrag… all those little boxes lining up. I love watching the dirt and debris wash down to the curb.

Great day.

Ugh, the Skunks

When I look at my back yard, or rather, OVER my back yard into the neighbors yard, I get this sinking feeling (maybe it’s because she’s elderly). But she’s out there everyday with a shovel or rake or hoe; turning soil, cutting, clipping and mulching. Maybe the sinking feeling is because my yard is full of craters created by those grub hungry skunks.

It’s about time I started to act like a homeowner and fill in those holes. Ughh, something else to add to my list of things to do.
