Tired and aching ---as hell, finally put some garden plants into the ground today,

[Figarosmom]

7. I stopped using bone shakers

Used to rent one every other year but have just switched to doing it myself with my spade and fork. I can only handle small patches at a time. But this year (in Feb.) I covered the areas I wanted dug up with cardboard ( a way to be rid of all the home shopping boxes) and wet it down. It makes it easier to dig and can be reused as paths between plantings.

Put out the rest of my tomatoes I started on the builtin porch today and dug up another small patch for an edible flower mix I have.

Yesterday I added over 20 new Oriental lilies to my front garden.

So yeah, I'm sore tonight.

Also lungs are burning because of smoke from Canada making air quality really bad. I'm in WI so l bet MI had it just as bad
