Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Drip irrigation still in progress......
Wifey decided she wanted to plant a few of her "seedlings". Took out a couple of shrubs from last season that didn't make it through the winter. Replaced them with her new plants. Peonies grown from cuttings, and blueberry hyacinths that she grew from seeds from our established ones.
She did 3 of these.


Remembered to call '811' 'before you dig' to have them mark the new fiber optic cable. I know there is a phone line there too..... wifey wanted to get started planting the willows that we started last year. I totally forgot about those 2 lines running near the place she wants them planted. Could have been a costly mistake.

Didn't get to grease the tractor.... that's ok, won't be using it for a few days. It will be one of those 'filler' tasks sometime this week.

This is an odd question, but need some input.....

We usually buy a couple pallets (50 bags) of mulch at Lowes when they put it on sale Memorial Day. The price is 5 bags for $10, 2 cubic ft bags.

Home Depot currently has 1.5 cf bags on sale for the same price. Technically, I would have to buy 16 additional bags to make up the .5 cf shortage over 50 bags.

So, 2 pallets worth (100 bags) would require an additional 32 bags (I would get 30)to make up the cf quantity . It would end up costing an additional $60 or an additional $0.46 per bag over the total number of bags.

My question:
Should I wait and see if Lowes does in fact put the mulch on sale again this year? OR Should I get it at HD at a guaranteed price right now....

I am afraid, in this current market, that Lowes may not have that sale as usual.....
If I miss either of these sales, it will cost over double.....

Your suggestions?

Around here most prices have increased over last year so I would get it now and get a head start in cooler weather.

Paul, no pics of the new plane? ....must have been too much fun!

It is a lot of fun, but I don’t have enough hands to take pictures and fly it! But it flew quite a bit today, this was taxiing in after the last flight.

This was my Wife's idea to get this heavy duty rolling storage rack. Works very well and tools are easily assessable.

This isn’t really a suggestion but how it usually works for me.
If I buy now guaranteed the price will be much lower next month. If I wait it won’t be on sale or the price will be a buck or two higher.

i know this doesn’t answer your question but sometimes just gotta flip a coin. YMMV

It was just on sale here at Lowe’s 5 bags for $10. Wife bought 5 bags. Sale here ended last week.

I was interested until the price. Hang most of my shovels etc on wall in barn.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.5C and it's presently 21.1C, mostly sunny with a light breeze. There was a total of 18.8mm in the gauge.

Well, hopefully this temperature will have dried off the heavy dew from this morning and I can actually get a bit of house/driveway/front-paddock mowing done. It's not 'bad', mind you. Just something that can be done before it needs to be done.

That's about it, take care all.

Looks nice. I just put all shovels, Ax, tamping bars, rakes, sledge hammers, most brooms, etc handles down into a barrel. Not that nice looking but easy to pull out the one I need when needed.
