I leave a few containers of stagnant water outside. As I walk by I look inside and if I see larvae swimming around I dump it out and refill.

Amazon was super-efficient and got the book up in just a couple of hours!
SF/Fantasy genre. Started out as a survivalist manual but morphed over time into an action/adventure novel. So lots of stuff about foraging, hunting, fishing, bow-making. Also betrayals, murders, sword fights, black powder pistols, and a bit of romance. Silly fun stuff that was fun to write.

Give it time. It often takes several years for young fruit trees to bloom.

Oh my. Best wishes!
My sister lays hands on her mower and prays. She's a better person than me so that's probably why she has better success than I do.

Did a bit of work today, first of this year. Spreading straw around the garden edges to smother the encroaching grass, and digging up some grass clumps. 45 minutes. 2 and 6/10 inches of rain in the gague.
As with the last few years I am charting time spent, activity effort level low/medium/high, and any rainfall amount. It was warm, sunny and very windy.

Thanks!
Progress is slow. When I converted the manuscript for publishing I discovered some annoying formatting glitches. So I am having to reformat the whole thing chapter by chapter. Hopefully that will resolve the problems. Still looking at finishing within the week.

We ate the very last squash from last fall today. Still very good. They get sweeter as time passes. Of course I saved some seeds!
So far have not done any work on the garden. Depending on weather I hope to get out tomorrow and dig up or cover with straw some grass growing into the edges.
Still about a month from any planting. Aiming at May first. I have planted earlier, but don't see much advantage. One year due to weather I didn't plant until June, and saw no deficit.

Here.

Can you post a pic? I think I know the tool but not sure.
