We have been cleaning up around the farm. Moving things here and there, hauling stuff to the dump, sorting things into piles for Rec-Metals, and raking and cleaning around the buildings
Even though the huge heavy work,
of the main production part of the farm is no longer ours, the hillsides, the flat tops of the hills, the pastures (six of them) and the upkeep of the farm itself is still ours.
PLUS…the shrinking of my yard
Sometimes the works seem endless (since some of this had to be put off until we had time)
But yesterday after lunch we rented a stump grinder and began
It too three steady hours
To reduce it to this!
Now I get to level and seed it to grass! YaY!
So exciting…a clean, new slate to give life to a new dream!

Somehow I had a feeling that you and Terry would NOT be bored with nothing to do under the new arrangement for the farm!

I’ve had good luck with Mother of Thyme aka creeping thyme as a ground cover. You can walk on it and when you do it smells good!

I liked my huge bed of four oclocks, but they started to be lots and lots of work. I will miss them they remind me of Love Grandma and the Hummingbirds adored them

If filling the space in with more lawn that important? When I want to get rid of stumps, I plant zonal geraniums around them and let them rot. Watering the geraniums occasionally through summer accelerates the process. If it is really in the way, I let it dry, and then burn it.

At my age it is … I’m 70 and I MUST slow down, mowing the lawn is much, much easier. The weeding and the watering of the flower beds were starting to wear me clear out. I have to move to the mowing the lawn for my health.
