While I weeded and trimmed back hedges this morning, Future Farmboy planted our first attempt at the sunflower fort we were dreaming about in March.
We found a nice spot at the back of the yard that will get even more sun after our mature elm gets a haircut. I’m told by the tree-trimmer that it’s OK to trim small branches on an elm in the Spring. Apparently that’s all she needs, no big pruning in the fall is needed.
I’m going to get a second opinion though. Wouldn’t want to hurt those beautiful backyard shade/privacy trees.
Still more yard work to be done today. The iFarmer is going to mow and collect all the weeds I pulled. Then we’re going to turn the soil, add more topsoil and get our garden planted….finally.
Before the mower comes out, we’ll be hunting for a four-leaf clover. Wish us luck.
