    Finally all the post holes are dug and the posts are set for the new garden fence. Located a supply of well composted horse manure to work into the new raised beds. So far things are going together well. Now for more rain. Hope the new fence comes in next week so when we get a break from the rain it can go up.

    Backyard raised beds are looking good, had to buy some plants from Big Box as we only germinated some Sugar Snap Peas this year, (peas looking good out front!)

    Attachment 6591

    Freedom Buds are Sprouting at the Range, need to feed them some Freedom Pellets! I prefer freedom pellets in calibers ranging from .17 to those starting in .4...

    Loropetulum (purple bush), Abelia (yellow bush not looking so good) Azaleas, freshly planted Lemongrass (in Pot) and of course Bottle Tree to keep all the bad spirits bottled up are being watched over by Hawkful eyes, American Flag...and plenty of 2nd Amendment Instruments! HA!!!

    Wow Sir Slippy!! Your place is looking great!
    Kudos to Mrs S on the front beds.
    You don't have cats, do you.
    What's that tank looking thing below the blueberry pic?
    The blues are looking pretty good too.

    Thanks madam Mountain Girl!

    The green tank is a 500 gallon Norwesco tank that I have as part of my water reclamation system from my metal roof. I put in a Self Flushing system on the gutter downspouts and can fill that tank in an afternoon thunder shower. We've used it a time or two to flush the toilets when we had an incoming pipe failure but most of the time we use it to water the back yard beds...even though I have 3 hose spigots nearby, I like to rotate the water in the tank as much as possible.

    I've been busting my ass the last couple of weeks as I am between work gigs.

    EDIT...I just got the Cat Joke! HA! Mrs Slippy says that if she dies first, I have the potential to become the Crazy Cat Lady! At 6'4" and somewhere close to 250lbs that would be a helluva sight me in a Tie-Dyed Moo Moo smoking a doobie decorating the yard with metal garden gnomes! However, You should see all of my crazy shit decorations I got hidden around Slippy Lodge...maybe one day I'll post!
