First nude gardening of the year.
Return to DiscussionsToday I got my first nude gardening of the year in mainly in the veg patch getting the ground ready to plant onion sets and the first potatoes of the year and the next couple of days it is also meant to be good weather so will be doing some more nude gardening.
running kind of late to get early things in because I've been so occupied getting the new fence put in so deer won't eat everything. Then my woods/mountainside access vehicles failed last week about the same time I started work on the new arrival. So I put on the push and got the new one fixed. It's an '86 4x4 toyota pickup with 450 thousand miles on it, on it's 3rd engine with timing chain worn out and many other maintenance issues. A friend of ours left it sit in his backyard for 4.5 years after it quit on him and he decided it was too far gone to be worth repairing. But he's not a mechanic like I am. He has to pay a mechanic to fix things. I fix em myself. even to the level of re manufacture of some parts that wear out. But it's going now, still needs master cylinder replaced. And the tires are just all season, i need super duper mudders to get through that mug bog up there. And a winch on front. So perhaps all that will be added next week. Have to sell some logs to make the cash to buy the tires. But otherwise I'm about ready to get back to the fence job, 2-3 days naked work left on it. And then get my garden started inside it. And i will be expanding the garden all summer I think. And then many more fruit trees to get put in next winter. By the way i live a half mile off the main road down in a hidden valley, then my farm I'm working up is another half mile back in on a mountainside, bad rutted mud roads into it with an acre or so of sort of level ground and several acres of reasonable even hillside to use for tree fruit. Otherwise most of the rest of our land is too rough steep or rocky for anything but native timber trees to occupy. It does do a decent job growing those.
My "main crop" of potatoes are developing their eyes ready for planting. Here in West Wales we woke up to a frost so I'm glad planting waited. And sir, congratulations on your video. Utter determination always wins out. Well done!
I've just stripped three barrows of soil from the alleyway vegetable border and replaced it with three of compost from the mature bunker followed by putting another three on the other vegetable patch ready for spreading.
