Summer Activity




For two summers now we have been fighting the weeds that have been super charged with grow juice of come kind. I know that Lon and I talked about planting grass in the orchard but some how last summer that thought was lost. Again this spring as I was chopping down the weeds it came to me that if we plant grass I won't have to tackle the weeds but Lon could mow them. This project has been on going for a while. We have hauled in some dirt, from the big pile next door, to cover the rocks that are in mass under the surface, then smoothed that out, chop weeds down as they begin to grow, have the drip system replaced with sprinklers, chop down weeds, put landscape edging around the trees, smoothed the surface and rake the rock that escaped to the surface, chop down the weeds. We now are just about to plant the grass seed. Anyway here is what It looked like last week.
