I have everything ready to set up and refill the third planter box. Plus not that far off in being able to set up and see if I have enough bedding for the fourth box. That will be an interesting process.
Today task would have made a good keystone cop movie. I had to get the blackberries out of the end of the garden. The issue in the path there is only about 24 inches of space down this row to the fence and about 6 blackberry crowns to dig out. In the end I was laying on my side sliding in and out to get yet another tool and slide back in to dig and pull up the main side roots to loosen the crown to remove it. I felt like I was doing surgery again because I had only a hole the size of my hand to get the tool in to loosen the dirt to dig at these roots then attempt to pull them free so the whole crown and base root would come out. Otherwise I will be having to do it again before the summer is over. So I must have looked like a beached whale trying to dig himself a trail back to the sea. Oh ya I also need to add that my "helper", my year old golden retriever, is also helping me by getting on top of me to see what I was doing. Digging a whole next to me, throwing his dirt on top of me and when I would toss out a berry crown he would shack the dirt off of it and drop it back where I was working. Needless to say It took two hours, my back is reminding me of that, but I did get it done.
