An Unusual Day

 I prepared checks and papers before we to go to Fillmore.  I  went to three banks and made a deposit

I went out to the nursery.  One of the guys is putting poly on the north end of house two which will help keep the greenhouse a little warmer. 

I borrowed the wheelbarrow and moved most of the compost out to the garden.  The pile is gone.  There are a few wheelbarrows full left.  Some is frozen and the rest can be scraped off the ground.  I started this afternoon and worked there for nearly two hours.

Carol had an appointment for physical therapy at 3:45.  I drove her to Fillmore and helped into the Revere building.  I left and got nearly to main street when the phone rang.  It was a Fillmore number.  I pulled off the road.  It was Carol.  They didn't have her appointment written down.  I went back and picked her up.  We stopped at State Bank of Southern Utah where I made a deposit and where Carol got a bunch of twenty dollar bills for Christmas presents.  We then went to the Credit Union where I make a deposit.  The next stop was at the Fillmore Market where I got a few groceries.  Carol waited in the car.   

Richard left early this morning for Springville.  He is going to drive to Parowan with a friend. He will get a truck there and drive to California.  He is out of work now and this will give him a chance to make some extra money,

Today we washed the sheets.  Carol started before breakfast and we finished after breakfast.  I say we because I helped her make the bed.

I wanted to moved the poultry wire in the chicken run all spring.  It has been to wet and muddy.  Today was a nice dry day.  The wire was twisted and there was a lot of dry and green grape vines growing through it.  I addition the were hog wires holding them together.  I used wire cutters and pruners to free the wire.

I think that it took a couple of hours.  Now I can gather the eggs without having to bend under the wires.  The above photo shows how much better it now looks.

I planted corn last week.  I had two packets of Blue Lake Pole beans.  I planned to plant two 1206 trays.  I filled a tray with potting soil and compressed the soil with my golf ball tool.

There was not enough seeds to plant two seeds in each tray let a lone three seeds that I wanted.  I guess I will be ordering more seeds.

Both trays of sweet corn are coming up.

I watched You Tube videos about French clefts and wanted to put one in the appliance garage to hold a vegetable cutter.  The appliance garage has to much stuff in it.    I redesigned it many times.  Took it out and put it back in several different places.  I went back and forth to garage to house and back to the garage to get tools and cut the wood differently.  After many tries I got it done.

Moving the compost from the road to the garden was another job I wanted to do.  After supper I started up the tractor with the intent to put the compost in the raised bed where I am planting strawberry plants.  I thought that I would get would bucket for the garden.

I ended up with about five loads.  I hope to move all of the compost by the road to the garden.
