7-13-12 VERMONT: The left coasters arrived today—frogs beware. J and S are here for the weekend only, the boys for two weeks, the Hunger Games have begun.
The initial run with the chipper ended up OK, but I burnt the drive belt on the first day and had to replace it which means taking the whole thing almost completely apart and then re-assembling, at least I know the unit now. After that mis-step, many branches and prunings were reduced to chips.
It has been hot and dry, and I’ve started watering all the new plantings. In the veggie garden, the corn is as high as a retrievers eye, and the tomatoes are showing lots of green marbles.
New blooms: Shasta daisy, ligularia, summer azalea.
Pickerel Weed is a pond dweller.
The arrowhead shaped leaves help with ID. The daylily is just a camera hog.
