They were very good! I'm guessing there's some up at the cottage if you guys are up there anytime soon. Or even on the trails around the house.

If you want to put my post in yours like I just did, just click the "Quote" button on any of my posts. It'll be on the right edge of the post with the +1 button, the -1 button and some other ones. Once you click it it'll open up a draft with my quote already there, then just type what you want to respond underneath.

Once you're in and typing you can click the Preview button to see if it all worked or not. I'll put pics in this post.

Hi Cam,
I see what you mean about the "quote" button.  We will look for the fiddle heads.  I think they look like something I'd like to eat.

So I did work on the hugels today. Mike Barkley inspired me to give the two beds names, so I did. They are named Hugh and Gill.

We also did more work on the fence! More mixing, more bucket carrying, more rock dropping. And one more post is now complete. It is approved by one of the farm cats as you can see in the attached gif.

I think I am going to sleep in the RV tonight to shake things up a bit.

It also increases the worm population, and regulates the soil temperature (will not heat up too much on hot days or get to cold in cold snaps). I also looked up if I could use pistachio shells (as you know we have lots of them from Dad) and if I rinse them off, they are good to use.  They take forever to break down but due to their sharp nature, will repel slugs as they don't like to climb over them.
