On Saturday some helpers came to cut down some trees with us. I decided that we needed to cut down some scraggly pines that were by our raspberry patch. They were blocking out most of the sun and the berries were doing poorly. I also have a scheme to add some blue berries and black berries to the patch and eventually put a picket fence around it. Surprisingly Mr. B was completely on board. Well at least with the cutting down trees part. We shall see how many years it takes to get my fence.
As usual no before pictures because I'm an airhead. And no during pictures because I was busy manning the ATV dragging branches to the burn pit while the boys were busy wielding chain saws. Here's what it looks like now.
Still some clean up to do.
Even after a few days the berries are doing much better, at least to me they seem like it. And although they dropped one of the trees on them they did bounce back nicely.
The irises that were in that area, not so much. They got trampled. Oh well, there root system still looks good and next year they will be just fine. I'm planing on transplanting them any way this week.
Now we just need to find an day with little wind. I think we have a bit of burning to do.
You bring the marshmallows and we'll have smores. you'll need to find a long poker-stick. I have a feeling this is going to be a big fire.
