Day 2463 Green fingers

11th May 2024

It was the day to get some serious gardening done. I had bought six rolls of edging to put around the beds to give some definition, so a lot of shaping was needed. There was a lot of grass and weeds growing so I found myself digging and removing that as a distraction to my main task. That is what gardening means to me, I just get distracted all the time, I see a weed and have to take it out, I should have a trowel attached to my belt at all times.

Then there is the question, what is a weed? I have no idea, I carry my phone with a plant identification app on it. That is a vital piece of technology, I have been known to dig up a perfectly good shrub and toss it in the bin, not anymore.

That was the main objective of the day, and boy, don’t my knees hurt.

We had a lady come to collect a wall cabinet that we gave to Greer a few years ago when she moved into her mobile home. Since she moved back to Grand Rapids her new apartment won’t allow anything to be attached to the walls, so she gave it back to us.

In true style, if it’s in the garage, it’s for sale, so yesterday Kelli posted it on marketplace and it sold straight away.

We also posted the latest dresser, and that sold immediately as well, but I have to put a couple more coats of finish before it gets collected tomorrow.
