Diary of a Boy Gardener

We are in the Berkshires, the beautiful rolling hills of western Massachusetts where the season is short and the frosts sometimes win. Visit Sally and David's Gardens and see how two old farts spend their time helping what plants they can find their place in this world.

Sunday, July 07, 2002

Another great day, although a bit wierd. It was very dark and the sun for the first several hours was a red disc one could look right at like a moon. Turns out there a fires in Quebec and the wind is bringing the smoke down here (up high) and acting like a filter. Still had to water a lot, especially the vegetable garden which was neglected the last few days in favor of the potted things. Cleaned out by the old compost and planted some squash there. Finished the stone on the cottage road side and near the sink by the back door. Farmer Ronnie couldn't make it to skim the driveway to equipment issues. Hopefully later this week. Did another course of cement on the retaining wall. Hope Vinnie will be able to borrow a bobcat and make that job much easier. Posted a bunch more July photos and started the stubs for the Garden Tour pages. Should have Franklin County up on Monday.
