Cold Front
Apr. 7th, 2011 06:23 amAnother Alaskan storm is moving in from the north. We'll get some rain, and colder temperatures for a few days. I'll have to cover the tomatoes at night, but the dog is loving the cold, blustery wind. The mail lady has told me he'll need a summer haircut, so, at some point, I'll attempt to do that myself.
One fun thing that I have planned, is to build a brick edge around the basin for the lemon tree. I have about 50 bricks and 60 lbs of dry mortar, and I envision this little wall to be circular, about 10 feet in diameter and two bricks high. I need to keep it level, so every week or so, it can be flooded to give the tree a good soaking.
