BRK Day 76

Spent the morning peeling logs
After lunch I spread some compost tea and helped Josiah out with the wing walls (mostly consisting of peeling another log)

BRK Day 77

Mulched some trees in the morning then got started on a tiny skiddable tool shed with a few other boots.
Peeled some logs in the afternoon then went to help Fred plant Saffron on his plot.

Went out picking saskatoons after dinner, and got almost 9lb with some help from Orin!

BRK Day 78

Pulled knapweed most of the morning yesterday. LOTS of knapweed. Mulched a bunch of newly discovered apricot seedlings across from Ant Village Circle then I went and planted more saffron on Fred's plot.


Picked some more saskatoons after work and got another 7lbs

Tried to post this last night but the internet didn't wanna work. Your move, internet

Haven't posted the last few days because I've been on a mini vacation with my family. But I'm back!

Got all the chestnut signs oiled and back in place last night
