Hello Werner-like garden of rocks. Good by to a high water bill hello beautiful well water. Alas brining in some OM. Mint straw (8 yards), Mushroom compost (7 yards) and processed cow manure (Scare Crows Pride) (close to 10 yards). Will hope to give it a till between now and Weds. Also a big thanks to my friends Cindy and Donovan Tobeck for the use of there 3 point tractor rake and post hole digger. This will definitely make digging the post holes and raking the boulders a whole lot easier. Pic is of the mint Straw.

Friday, August 26 View Page Well I guess it is a good thing I had some late sets this year. My oldest being the 1625 Gantner on 7\5 then the 867 Barker 7/9 and then the 1317 Clementz and lastly and also why I am really hoping for a very warm September the 1447 Sherwood Friday, August 26 View Page The 1317 ClementZ is closing in on the Gantner. My goal for this year was to at least get a couple 1Ks out this first year patch. I think that is a VERY strong possibility. My other 2 goals were a new "official" PB and the top goal like every year is a 4K jacket. That one may be a stretch but still hopeful Friday, September 23 View Page 1625 Gantner x 1317 Clementz 376.5 OTT Poll date 7/5 1317 Clementz x 1447 Sherwood 366.5 OTT Poll. date 7/11 867 Barker X 1625 Gantner Poll date 7/16 1447 Sherwood X open 305 OTT Poll date 7/25 One of my goals this year in the new patch was to break 1K with 2 k,ins.
