  • Might have pears this summer
    My pear trees are blossoming for the first time since I planted them two years ago. I found two small trees that were sort of flat to begin with and have been training and pruning them grow espalier on the backside of my home.

Lincoln and Bosco investigate the new mulch.

Rates now $5 a load

I picked up a load of mulch from the city's Biosolids, Lime and Yard Waste Recycling Facility on Lake Avenue and this year's rate for dumping a load of mulch into your truck is $5. Still a great deal, but I only had $ 4 with me when I went to pick up the mulch. I had to ask my neighbor John, who was nice enough to drive me there with his truck, for money.

John also helped me shovel the mulch from his truck into the front raised bed at my house. If I had done this on my own, it would have taken three times as long and I probably wouldn't be able to move the next day. Thank you, John.
