Pottering

Well the day turned out to be a good pottering day.
The front yard is a jungle and needs to be delt with.  When one neighbour mows the front verge and the neighbour across the road does the whippier snipping it says something.  Now it would be nice if some other neighbour took it upon themselves to do the front gardens that would be nice.  But alas that does not happen.  That area remains to be done.
Now the back yard is a different story. (Except for the extreme back where I have the same weed problem.  Yesterday afternoon I looked at natural solutions to weeds.  We are not into the indiscriminate use of chemicals but we have a strong dislike of weeds.) 
I have used this solution once on a path and it was effective.  It is vinegar based.  Yesterday I prepared a sprayer and got is all ready.  Early morning and evening is best, and results are visible the next day.  I had a sprayer in an unopened box.  It had a shoulder strap.  I wanted a solution that did not involve bending at all.  I am happy with this one.
Merril went to visit family and it was right and good.  I was determined just to potter around.  I did that successfully.  I tidied up the car port, blowing away the leaves and grime as I went.
In the afternoon I pursued something that seems to be a goal of Merril to.  We want to strike plants from cuttings and seeds for sale at our market.  I found two ideal containers for pots and added polystyrene we had from the installation of a few things.  Then I added potting mix we had.  All is in readiness now.
It inspired me to work on our green house.  I cleared it out and have made it our greenhouse/potting area.
I did other things that made for a satisfying days activities.  But the front yard still awaits.  Dealing with that is planned for tomorrow.  Merril studies today and I will potter again.  It is date night tonight and we would like to do some shopping. 
It is an enjoyable time of the year.
