The nursery man who has been helping me select my fruit trees and berries was off today, so I didn't get my plants. Instead, I bought two tons of much which I spread on our 9 flower beds. (Note to self: stop building flower beds.)
We have a 50% chance of rain tomorrow so I put the mulch down at a good time.
I will get something in the ground this week during the cool snap. My planting window for trees, grapes and brambles is slowing closing.
Learning what 10 acres in the foothills of East Tennessee has to teach as I trudge clumsily back to the land.
