greenstormIt is definitely time to take down the gate up into the garden, and to put a gate across the barnyard/driveway so the geese are off my driveway and back in the grass. They're flocking now, all gathered together after the scatter of summer, and they sit close to my house and poop all night in front of my door. All of them.
The dogs should be able to go around the long way, I think the geese won't bother. I've wanted to keep the geese off the driveway forever, but letting the dogs access the house but not the geese is challenging. I keep meaning to take a piece of plywood and incorporate it into the fence, cut a hole in it, and put a dog door in it. I think the geese won't go through and the dogs will, at least for awhile.
The greenhouse fabric cover is wearing out; I need to take it off and ideally replace it with some sort of hard polycarbonate or something. It's a pop-up greenhouse, so it's made out of round pipe and I should be able to attach wood to it with those pipe fasteners and then put the sheets of plastic on top of that.
Josh is coming up next week and we're planning to take down a bunch of aspens for mushrooms, that should make next year better in both that greenhouse and in my lower garden.
The deck is still collapsing and still needs to be dealt with.
I should probably fasten the fence around the king stropheria mushroom bed more firmly.
Definitely I need to rake the whole everything, so I can take the snowblower around without anything getting caught and stuck in it.
I also need to haul straw in, put some by the pigpen, put some in the back field. In the spring it's too squishy to drive through the ditch/seasonal pond into the back, so it's hard to get materials back there. Right now it's all hard dry ground, if I haul the straw back now and cover it, it'll be there waiting when I need it.
Need to prune the willow so it doesn't drop branches on the driveway when snow comes. It would be nice to do the tops of the spruce trees to start moving it into a hedge too.
As before: holes for spring trees dug if I hava a ton of time.
