Day 14: 8/22/2024
Paul shared some much appreciated info with me about arthritis/gout and things that can help. I will be giving them a try for sure. Thanks, Paul!
The day started again over at Allerton Alley, where we watered again to ensure all the growies live! I was very happy to see that the pumpkin plants have revived nicely, and will hopefully produce some good-sized pumpkins in the fall. Pictures are posted below.
I also witnessed one of the cats pull a snake out of the side of a hugel and run off into the woods with it! I couldn't see what type of snake it was, but it was most likely a garden/grass snake. It also wasn't very big. I guess they didn't want to share with the other cats

More cure baby kitty pictures below btw
On the way back to base camp for lunch, we stopped at the broken hydrant again and made some more progress. We are close to the level we need to be to discover what is going wrong with it, hopefully we can get it handled before the weekend.
Paul showed us some gardening he has been doing at base camp, and some possibilities for future improvements to the hugel right behind the house.
After lunch, we reassembled the picnic table (see below), moved some other things around and then watered at base camp for the rest of the afternoon.
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for tomorrow's update
