LumberJill


Today I fixed all of the drip irrigation in the high tunnel. I planned out what I want to grow and also have a plot out in the fruit orchard that I want to grow on. I’ll be growing 19 different veg including pumpkins! I’ll be excited to try my hind in a gluten free pumpkin pie in the fall! After irrigating I went to the south pasture and helped trim the fallen trees around the electric fencing. Tyler said I looked like a lumberjack hacking away at dead trees and what-not. So just call me LumberJill minus the muscles. I was so happy to not have run into an rattlesnakes. They better hope to not cross me while I’m here or they will be sorry they ever saw my face!

On Wednesday I went to a pruning class and learned how to prune citrus trees and fruit bushes. It was taught by the organic guru of Georgia who has been at it for 16 years. That proves how young and slow moving the organic movement is down here. So if anyone needs me to trim and space some bushes and trees, I’m your gal.

Sorry to not write much but I’m exhausted from the heat!

  1. Well, all I can say is mess with a rattlesnake and they'll be calling you Lumber R-I-P... I would advise trimming brush from atop the donkey.

  2. I need someone that knows how to prune... since my recent broken arm incident with the extension ladder. How much do you charge? LOL
