Took advantage of that big yellow thing here in Oregon and stayed busy the whole day.
1. Had fun setting the burn pile that accumulated all winter, lot's of dead fall, branches from pruning, and anything else I couldn't really compost.

2. Added a yard of compost to my potato patch and some all purpose fertilizer, tilled it all in, and when that was done planted 66 Russet potato seed. Last year I grew 45 plants and yielded about 80 pounds or so of spuds.

3. Added 2cu ft of compost, 2cu ft of chicken manure and 1 cup of bone meal each, in two raised beds for giant tomatoes. Turned it all in by shovel.

4. Sprayed some Round-Up on the walk ways around the riased beds.

5. Mowed the paths between the orchard patchs

I'm tired now
