Lower Lot Projects

Working again on the lower lot, we had a friend over and took down about 8 pretty dead red pines. The plan is to clear it out and plant blueberries there in the Spring. They ought to do very well with the acidic soil, and our older bushes are dropping off in production, so we're trying to insure our berries for the future...

Here's almost this same angle in the Spring...


(My brother-in-law, Carlos, took this shot)

And then there was the clearing and preparing for the hard-neck garlic (hence the poison ivy, see last post) on the hillside. We are trying to take advantage of the excellent drainage on the hill as well as trying to use all available land for cultivation...


And speaking of taking advantage...how about grazing the sheep on the front lawn?

Melanie: I've grazed sheep on the lawn before, so did my folks and my grandfather. Three generations in a row can't be wrong! Too funny. We can't now because our yard isn't fenced, but at our old place we always got a lot of slow traffic when the sheep were out in the yard... lots of looking and pointing.
