Much catching up to do around the homestead this week. I needed to mulch down the garden: 27 beds, newly planted trees, and around strawberries and blueberries. Have about half of this finished. Mowing and trimming ate up bunches of time. I used the zero-turn mower to knock down what is near/around the cabin (about an acres worth of hillsides). If you’ve ever used a zero-turn on steep hills you know the challenge that presents. Everything done downhill is accomplished by a ‘controlled slide’. I also have about 60 trees on these hills so it’s quite a challenge. I’ll need to hook the brush-hog up to the tractor to cut the remaining areas near the back side of the property (about 15 acres).. Will be back to greater postings when I can get ahead of the chores once again.
