blueberries: planted!
Mar. 26th, 2024 07:47 pmit was so pleasant working in a garden bed with well-developed soil, rather than the horrible clay mess i started with 25 years ago. digging was easy, and the soil is a nice brown color now. (though not the black of my oldest beds.) as usual for digging my older gardens, it was a regular earthworm massacre. at least there are plenty more where they came from.
various other minor projects got done too: one sink is now fixed, and another is jury-rigged for the moment, since my previous fix didn't take. it needs a different size washer than the fixed sink, which i now have.
we've been finding a fair number of nails outside, so the roofers sent somebody over with a magnetic sweeper to find more. he hit the motherlode, ending up with a big pile of them. the pile must have been 8-10" across and a few inches tall. that's a lot of roofing nails.
roofers set up their ladders in my gardens, since they're around the easiest places to reach the roof. my guess is that they didn't want to do more damage to the gardens, so they didn't search for nails too thoroughly the first time. but this time, the guy was coming up with handfuls of nails in the front bed, and found plenty in the back bed, which is full of tall plants (blueberries, daffodils, and such). hopefully, he got them all.
