    Good Sunday morning all. Currently 3°C and clear.
    I was such a busy girl yesterday, getting all kinds of jobs crossed off my list, including changing the furnace filter, fixing the leak and turning on the outside tap, cutting the grass, putting out the rain barrels, getting the golf cart running and out of storage, and up potting more tomatoes. I also got my portable water tank out and working and filled it up for watering the veggie garden. I got some extra perennials potted up for sale, and even had someone come buy a coffee table. Todays jobs include burning brush, dividing perennials and up potting more tomato plants.
    Every year I think I need a bigger greenhouse, and then later decide that it is the perfect size for my own things. The problem happens when people ask me for tomato plants and then i end up planting WAY more than I need! This year I decided to plant extra to sell for a little bit of extra money to support my garden addiction. And yes, I am working alone and truth be told I like it that way. But I do like the help on the days I do grass. I like to have one person to do the small bits with the push mower and do the trimming as I have a lot of acreage to cover. Doing the grass wasn't part of my job until Covid hit, and now it seems to have 'stuck'. I have discovered that I enjoy cutting grass!
    A bit of food prep and then I'm heading outside.
    Have a great day all :)

    Netty— I enjoy cutting grass as well. In fact, I cut people’s lawns when I was a youngster for pocket change so that I could take birds out. It was the old ladies that cost me the most time, with all the extra trimming and so forth. Haha.
