End of June Garden Chores

My 16 year-old grandson visited to help me with garden chores since I'm limited by the gradual mending of my broken leg. He makes a great "Garden Man" intern with his strong arms and legs and engineering mind.

His first project:  Put this bubbling fountain together and get it running.


Love it!
The sound is soothing and cooling
while sitting on the patio.

Second project (visible in the background above):


How?


How much?


Where?


When?


Okay?


Done!


Other projects too numerous to list
but some include:
pulling weeds
pulling up unwanted ground covers
planting 5 new plants
taping the birch tree trunk
killing gypsy moths
disposing of cuttings from pruning
sawing off one-third of bush at heartwood
scraping moss off patio pavers
laying fairy stepping stones
stringing fish line trellis
putting together replacement table on deck
taking packages to mail
WHEW!
Many thanks to our Garden Man
in-training who did two weeks'
worth of chores in two days!
To be 16 again...
