Hose Fixtures

Carol gave me a twenty-dollar bill.  She wanted me to go to the post office have them exchange it for two ten-dollar bills.   Rod was there and mentioned that I was way over on the amount of water I could uses.  There apparently was a water leaking somewhere in the yard.  I had him shut off the water so I could find out where the water was leaking.  He shut off the water.  The water was leaking in greenhouse two, greenhouse four and in hen house.  I removed the three fixtures and took them to Roper's in Fillmore.  I got the new parts.  I put a hose bibb on the pipe in house four and then shut off the water.  I put and another hose bibb on the pipe in house two.  I then took off the hose bibb that supplies water the chickens in hen house.  I tried over and over to screw on the new hose bibb. It would not go on.  I took apart the tunnel apart tried to screw it on, Threads were stripped.  I took my cordless saw and cut off a piece of pipe, I used my pocketknife and scraped off all of hard water crud.  I found a couple of PVC parts and glued the on the last hose bibb.  I had someone call Rod to turn the water back on. I don't think that he got the message.

This morning i picked a large batch of rhubarb.

I took it to "share the harvest" at the Holden post office.  

This is the new hose bibb located in greenhouse four.  I found two of the baby kittens.  They are located west of the garage green house.

Sunday Weather

 

Saturday

 

Robert brought his tiller today, Saturday.  He is tilling the tall weeds in the garden.

I cut down all of the weeds that are west of the orchard with a cordless weed whip.

Robert tilled all of the weeds in the south garden.  

Here he is tilling in the same garden.

Justin loaded Robert's tiller on his trailer.  He will bring it back next Saturday.

Justin bent over planting pepper plants in greenhouse six.

Another photo with a tray of pepper plants.

Robert tilling on the south side of greenhouse six.  

I mowed the lawns.  The baskets are filled with grass clippings.

Most of the grass clippings came from the front lawn and the back lawn.  I cut the grass really short.  This the front lawn.

This is the back lawn.

Onions Planted

 After breakfast we got the rest of the onions and took them out to the garden.  I spaded a row yesterday for the onions.  This morning, I made a row for the onions, I used a garden trowel to make a hole in the row for the onion plants   We have had the plants for a long time and their quality was questionable.  I made the hole and Carol would put the plants.  We continued until we planted all of the good plants.  We were able to watch two of the morning TV shows on channel 44.  

I made a row and the is where Carol and I planted the onions.  The garage is behind us and we are looking to the west.

The onions are planted and I am running the water down the row.  You can see some of the onion plants at the bottom of the row.
