Yard Work III.

11-5-11 VERMONT: It was cold last night. This morning the grass was frosted, and the pond had ice at the north end, where the drain is, the icing continued until about 10 AM when the pond was about one-third frozen. By mid-afternoon, all the ice, and frost, was gone.

Today was cloudless, windless and cool. I got another batch of beds done. I have been avoiding the beds with a lot of snow in hopes that it will evaporate, at least partially, on these dry days. I finished most of the beds on the east side of the house, that’s the pond side, and the pond beds and the day lily bed by the wall. That work generated another three cart loads of cuttings. I have been dumping them on a wet, soggy area in the pasture.
