Closing the Gardening Season - Beer and Steps

mypathtofire in #hive-147663 • last year

Hello My Green Fingered Friends,

It has been a month or so since my last garden update and it has already come to the end of the summer season. As the temperatures started dropping, I decided to get very active in the garden and try and finish up some of my projects and start some new ones.

As I was working in the garden, I started a fire bowl to keep warm and also help clear up some excess wood I had in the shed.

However, then a storm came and I had to move under my canopy and enjoy the fire in the rain storm.

As rain had stopped play, I decided to unwrap those Italian beers that I brought back from Italy and test them out while I waited for the rain to subside.

At first I was unsure of the taste, but it quickly grew on me.. it was a taste between heaven and happiness.

As time went on, I was determined to enjoy the moment and the fire continued and the 3 Italian beers quickly disappeared.

I then had to pull something out of the bag and it was a Warsteiner. A trusty beer that you can rely on in times of trouble.

The next day I could continue with my garden project to replace the garden step. First I made some space for the new step and cleaned up a little.

I needed to dig for quite abit.

I managed to fill the wheelbarrow even.

I needed to use my power drill to remove concrete and be careful of water and electricity cables.

With everything prepared, I mixed up some fresh concrete and go the new step blocks ready.

Laying the blocks was pretty easy and getting them level with my spirit level.

Once they were laid. I needed to wait a day for the concrete to dry as I didn't buy that quick setting stuff.

Next up I reconnected the sprinkler and started filling in around the new step.

With all the stones back, I was quite happy with the end result. Overall a pretty fun job to do and total cost was €27. Now I am thinking I could have replaced all the steps as I really like the new ones, however maybe that could be some new job in the future if I fancy it.

Bang on the money! A really good garden closing with finishing up my last jobs and having a fire bowl and a few beers just before the temperature starts dropping later this week.

How are your garden plans working out this summer?

I need to have my sprinkler system looked at some day. I haven't used it since we moved in and I think a lot of the heads are either broken or buried. I am honestly not sure. At least before we sell the house one day we should figure it out.

mypathtofire last year

I bet that could require quite a bit of digging. I am not so keen on sprinkler systems, but kept this one simple luckily.

I'd probably hire someone. I don't know the first thing about it. Half the stuff got tore out when we demolished our old deck too. I've still got a few weekends left before I need to start prepping for winter.

$0.00

mypathtofire last year

I guess you could just rip up the old one and lay a new one, would be easier maybe. I am having a good clear out ready for winter. Still a few more things to do yet and then I can start on my next projects, my daughters bedroom and project ManCave.

bozz last year

I think most of it is good. I just know that when we redid the deck we might have covered a couple of the heads. I also know when they cut down our maple tree and ground the stump they cut one of the lines. So that will probably leak... I hear you about the next projects. I have to redo the ceiling in our basement bathroom. My wife wanted to remove the popcorn ceiling and realized it isn't as easy as the Internet made it look. I've been putting that off for a while now because I hate working with drywall.

My gardening chores consist of things growing in pots, but there are still many end of the season chores to be done and plants to be brought indoors as the nights get colder.

I am excited to get autumn started. It’s camping season where I am moving to and I have plenty of private property to set up camp! I will be building a little fire pit with sitting area near my house too. I like those little fire pits for things like that. Easy to maintain.

That sounds pretty awesome. You cant beat a nice fire to sit around and chat and keep warm to.

thelogicaldude last year

Yep, I am actually thinking of starting a new podcast or may end up making it a short video series called "Thoughts From the Camp Fire" or something like that. That's mine BTW, lol. I stamped it here on the blockchain, lol.

LOL.. yeah man, you should do that. Fire up some trading charts too when having a few beers. LOL

Right, lol. I am a non-alcoholic guy these days, which I am finding some I really like. Actually next month is one year no alcohol and 5 years no nicotine! But I still love my #weedcash, lol.

$0.00

mypathtofire last year

Thats a good record! How do you do the no nicotine with weedcash?! I thought they go together?! It is good to cut down on the alcohol, it usually can land us in troubles ... lol

$0.00

thelogicaldude last year

I rarely smoke blunts so I am not smoking any tobacco really. The only one's I have smoked lately were hemp wraps so there wasn't any tobacco. I usually smoke bowls or dabs of cannabis wax. No nicotine in weed.

$0.00

mypathtofire last year

Got you. I guess Hemp is another solution. Nicotine is very addictive. I didnt smoke for a long time, but we had some CBD oil which should heal you for stuff though.

Today I finished mowing the orchard. I won't do it again. For the sixth time this year. I don't remember mowing so many times in the past year.
Well, now I have to clean the field. I don't know when I'll do it.
Moretti's not a bad beer. Cheers!

Was mowing the orchard a big job? Tomorrow I will mow the garden and maybe vertikutieren the grass too for the autumn. Not sure if its too early yet though. Great work on your field this year. Do you plant anything over autumn/winter or it stays fallow?

$0.00

seckorama last year

I don't know, the orchard is bigger than a football pitch... but it's not that flat, it takes me at least three afternoons to mow one.
Yes, we planted quite a lot of winter radicchio and andivia (winter lettuce here), then some turnips, kohlrabi and cabbage. I'll write something, of course :)
We need to clear it to make place for the garlic, which is usually planted in November. I don't know when I'll clean, we're going to the sea again for the weekend on the island of Pag :)

$0.00

mypathtofire last year

Cool. Thats quite a few things planted.

The weekend sounds good, it is great to have the sea nearby , i hope the temperature stays good for you. im really not sure what we will do over the winter time to be honest, at the moment we have nothing planned, but i would like to go somewhere warmer! lol

We had rain and cold for three days, but now we have about 25 degrees, which will last at least five days (due to the weather report).

Taste in between heaven and happiness
And laying the level with spirit level these are beautiful lines. You know why I picked these lines because these lines sounds catchy to me and struck in my mind. I am assuming that which beer will taste like in between heaven and happiness.
You are a hardworking soul as you made garden step without help of anyone. If I have to make then obviously I would have to call someone.
Well done.
