Yard work progress...
No sewing yesterday, but most of the outdoor stuff happened.
L was the one digging in front of the barn -- getting more roots out. I worked on building up the walls on the raised bed more, filling in against the inside of the walls somewhat, weeding around the outside of the walls, as well as pulling all the weeds among the strawberries. Should be able to put some plants in there today.
Note to self: one of the "empty" pots of soil had a couple onions in it, which are now in the raised bed.
Turmeric is likely indoors for the winter. They're wimpier than ginger, by 10F. For now, I'll move them to the front porch. Ginger can stay in place for a little while longer. Not sure about the Lemongrass, but will move them to the porch, just to be safe.
We'd been talking about removing the goldenrod growing by the driveway door, so I pulled some of it out -- along with some Iris I'd plunked down by the house when we were doing the main part moving plants. So, took them over to where I'd transplanted the ones from by the barn, weeded, and planted them.
Took a break to go to the farm, where I spent a little time catching up with SILs D and S, and observing them making maple-coated pecans. Happily I'm not needed for that right now, but good to take notes. L was testing some of the fencing for weak spots, to mark them for nephew C to repair.
Then back home to do more outside. L got a bunch of mowing done. He also chatted with a possible future neighbor -- young family, two kids. Fencing might be in order, sooner rather than later, if they get the house. Not interested in the possibility of somebody not paying attention and running and/or falling off the retaining wall...
