This is one of the ash cones I've been talking about. You remember. An old vineyard parcel was dug up and the vine trunks were burned. This and another are all that's left.
An ash cone out in the dug-up vineyard parcel.
The weather was spectacular yesterday. The morning dew dried up before noon. We could actually sit out on the deck before evening. I got the mower out and cut the west forty. It feels good to make real progress. I'll try to do more of the same today. The weather should be the same today as yesterday: cloudless blue sky and warm air. The are many patches in the yard that the rider mower can't reach, so they have to be cut by hand. I have a self-propelled walk-behind mower for that.
Good potash for the soil. Cheaper than buying it if only for a garden!! Pats🚜
ReplyDeleteWe had rain all night and on and off until now, after more than a week of weather perfection. Do they just let those ash piles disappear on their own (via the weather)?
ReplyDeleteYou were due some good weather.
ReplyDeleteOh, boy, spectacular weather… that sounds great :)
ReplyDeletepats, good point!
ReplyDeletemitch, I think they're spread around, but I'm not at all certain.
evelyn, darn tootin' !
judy, it's a nice change, for sure. But I don't think it'll last. I'd like to be wrong about that. ;)
mitch, UPDATE !!! I walked out by the ash cones this morning with Tasha. The cones are gone, and the ashes are not raked in to the soil.
