Very dry and hot this week, with temps in the high 90's.
It's just too hot to try and plant anything. The red maple is struggling, I have to water it deeply every two to three days. So I'm calling a halt to all digging until it gets cooler.
Plus, with my better half putting his back out and with me getting ready to visit Iowa, virtually all yard work is on hold.
Except the watering, which is becoming a real issue. It seems like my day is spent trying to keep something watered. Thank goodness James of Gates Landscaping came out and moved two sprinklers that are now covering the orchard.
I don't envy Don trying to keep up with this yard . . . .
About Me
- Silks&Magnums
- I grew up in the mid-west, but by now have lived in nearly every region of the country. When it came time to "settle-down", I chose New Hampshire because of it's beauty, and close proximity to Boston, the ocean, and the Mountains. I never tire of the wildlife that visits my yard; including Black Bears, Fishers, Bobcats, Fox, Turkeys, Muskrats, White-tailed Deer, Porcupines, Red, Grey and Flying Squirrels, Chipmunks, Rabbits, and an incredible amount of birds . . . to name a few. I always wanted to live in a cabin in the mountains nestled in the sweetest green valley, and this is it, with a few more amenities. This is my little slice of heaven!
