It was a good cool day and a good time to get rid of the boxes on the porch. Spring cleaning is in the air!
2nd Man saw them and said that they reminded him of the Stargates from the film/tv series of the same name.
Um yeah, no, they aren't THAT big, ha.
Thankfully, they went together very easily. Four pieces each, line up the holes and then it was a bolt and nut. Super easy. I did two and then took an iced tea break...
...and then did one more.
I went ahead and rolled them to the back and set them in place. I removed the other three from around the citrus trees (don't need to worry about a freeze now) and put them in place. Then I measured them so they were perfectly aligned between the square boxes.
That means we have three more now for a total of six. Four for the blueberry bushes we already have and two more for something else we bought that we'll have in an upcoming post. There are three on one side of the fruit tree spot and three on the other side.
Speaking of the two "other" ones, on the way out to the farm I stopped to buy some bags of soil and compost and filled them up. I turned the soil and grass underneath, put down some cardboard (just like we did with the tree beds) and layered in the soil/compost. They are ready for planting but the plants that will go in them aren't quite ready yet.
Next we'll need to get the soil for the blueberries (they like acidic soil). We found a store here that sells it, it will require a large amount...we're working on that too.
It was a good day, cool weather, no need to mow yet (but getting close) and I got several other projects done. But there was a downside to the day...
To be continued...
