What are you working on #3

Good for you!

Congrats victor. Not there yet. Patti

Way, way not there yet!

Of course, I don't pick up the leaves. My cutters do that - and usually trample plants in the process.

Of course.....just like my mowers took out a butterfly bush!

I give anyone who does a lot of cleanup this time of year credit, so good on you Victor. Rest of mine gets done in spring. Cut back a few nasty looking things earlier and the rest is done in spring around here. Helps me remember where everything is and a good excuse to get out early and check things out. Also some seed heads look nice in winter and give food and shelter for the birdies. Besides the oak trees will be dropping leaves all winter; some will degrade to feed the soil , some will blow away and the rest the gardener will remove when the garden itch can not be ignored another minute.

Thank you, Pat.....you have just made my day.....my work is finished!

^_^ Always happy to help.

2 days of weeding plus squashed one green cutworm on tues & one green & one brown & yellow cutworm on Wed. So nice for decorator colors.

I leave most with seeds for spring too.

Have to set up the iris seeds & get them in the dirt packets outdoors.

Pat, I'm with you. I get some cleanup done now, but more done in the spring.

Karen

Lots of leaves down, tarp fills down the hill to the compost pile, but doesn't even make a dent.

I have to finish the garden in the next week, as the spring is all about the bulbs, and they need a clean place for them to pop up in. Otherwise it is a disaster as we would miss seeing all the little guys among the debris. Plus it is far easier to plant the fall bulbs in clean beds. ugh, lots to do. Patti

wish i had the fantastic 1/4 acre - maybe by next week i will be done with clean up:)

Hee hee! Did I ever actually say 1/4 acre?? ^_^

long day yesterday and another today - i can see the end - all potted jm's are in the garage

this was the night cap yesterday - was hoping the moon would get over the trees sooner

nice shot Bill.. fire shots are always nice.. I have some from my 35MM that came out awesome.. I should scan them

That moon is awesome tonight!

That's a fantastic shot, Bill. I posted a link to info on Sunday's 'blue moon' on the coffee break thread.

Karen

Nice evening shot with moon and fire Bill. Hope there was a tall one in the mix somewhere too.

Looks very inviting!

a couple week ends ago i was able to pry a nice rock out from down in the wet lands - my wife was secretly taking pictures. a little blury on this one.

i could only drag this about 35 steps before i had to stop - was just a tad bigger than i thought it would be when i started working on getting it above ground - here it had just fallen off the two wheeler so i decided with only 15' feet to move it i would try and "roll" it

almost there

at last - until next spring

Wha, How's the Hernia? OMG, you are a brute. Patti

You are a CRAZY guy!!

I saw someone posted on this thread and said to myself, "Wow, someone is actually working on a project." And there you were, Bill, at it again. That's some rock!

Karen

Everyone please sing in unison:

"Just what makes that little old ant,
think he'll move a rubber tree plant..."

;)

ouch

LOL B.A..... Bill you are a crazy man!!!

hey - its a great rock:)

Too funny B.A....but now that darn song is stuck in my head!

Bill, no comment because im just as bad. I have a scar on my right thigh from trying to lift one that weighed more than I did. I got it to an upright position then it started rolling back at me and I did not have enough weight to stop it. Nor was I fast enough to get out of it's way and it rolled down my leg. DH was NOT taking pictures....but i should of took one of his face when he was yelling at me. It was RED, looked like a big tomato with a mouth!! LOL

I like your description of DH Celeste!

not sure brian would like it:)

Deb, I had all I could do not to laugh at him! ^_^

Oh he'd love it Bill, but he now has the big old tractor to move things with so he won't play "He-Man" anymore and doesn't want me to play "She-Ra"!!

celeste i will let victor respond to that description :)

Please NO! I really set myself up for this one, didn't I?
