Thursday morning after blogging, Tres and I went for a walk, returning home I sharpened the axe, in preparation for the mornings work. Thursday’s work did not go as planned. I began digging around one set of the stumps and ran into many roots. Using the axe is not easy when you are on your knees or sitting on the ground. I could not get the swing at the roots that I wanted. I procured a hand saw and it helped. I would saw some, and then chop some. I got most of one part out, before I got tired and quit.
I will get a power saw and use it tomorrow. I have chain saws but I don’t want to get the chains in the dirt, I don’t care about the saw blades, I have several. Photo to follow.
Update; the two blackberry plants that I dug up are still looking good, they may be my starter plants for the #3 berry bed. The weed killer I used on the bed is working, weeds and grass are turning brown. I will need to till up the dirt in the bed, and add some potting soil before planting anything.
I have a photo of the author of this blog, I know you will appreciate the photo.
Black and white photos are cheaper than color, and being retired, cheap is good!
Enjoy the day, otherwise…!
