Weather:

 The for the last week has been nice hi 60’s - low 70’s.  It has cooled off over night a couple on nights got pretty chilly.  Right now we have a thunderstorm coming through. 

Plantings:

 Transplanted the pumpkins (2) to big tires.  Hopefully they will do well in the tires.  I am using the tires as raised beds, I have put wire in the bottom to discourage the gophers.  I also move a zucchini and butterstick zucchini into the garden.  I moved my little oregano and marjoram into planters that are in the garden.

I moved a daylily out by the barn, the dogs where always stepping on it so I moved it to location that the wouldn’t step on it.  I also put a wire cage around it to ensure that it doesn’t get stepped on.  The daylily will also get some more sun so maybe that will help

Activities:

A lot of weeding, the front of the house, the bed around the barn, the vegetable garden.  I helped Richard move logs from the downed trees to the hay shed.

Richard has been removing tree stumps around the property.  He has gotten about 3-4 stumps out.

I did spend some time in the house cleaning.  The log walls needed to be cleaned the burning of wood in the house makes the walls really dusty. So Friday I washed all of the logs down.

Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:

This is the second year of my raised bed gardening and I think that it is going pretty well.  They are much easier to keep weeded, to water and to manage the crop.  I don’t think that I have it all down yet but at least I have had some success.
