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...
