It was so great to have one entire sunny day at my disposal.
I gave up the studying on-line for in my backyard.
My project was to string wire for my raspberry vines. I have a raised bed and a row along the back fence. Since I really didn't know what I was doing, it all turned out great in the end. I strung the wire and then proceeded to turn the vine on it's side. After many frustrating tries I finally managed to secure the vine to the wire and it all looks so professional and all. I just had to stand back and admire my two hours of work. I'll really enjoy it in July when I have real raspberries on which to munch.
I did a crazy thing this week. I was going to fertilize the back lawn. I got out the spreader and found that the mechanism to open and close it had rusted. My husband said it was probably because I left the weed and feed in the spreader for six months! No duh!
So, being the stubborn, persistent, and single-minded person that I am, the lawn was fertilized anyway. I have a huge plastic colander. I filled it with weed and feed (about seven pounds worth) and methodically sifted the stuff into the grass. Looking back I think I am a crazy person to have done it that way. It took about an hour and my arms and back let me know they weren't happy! Bright spot, the weeds are dying!
