05-16-2025 -- A deck to lounge on

Howdy all. Could resist what might be the last 70+ temperature day in the next 10. And while it did rain/drizzle some overnight, and more is expected shortly, there was a lot of sunshine out there. I trimmed the raspberry bushes, and tried to straighten out the mesh wire walls around that bed. Now there is no reason to not mow/trim around that garden bed.

Also tossed up one fence/wall section on the potatoes back there too.. Should make them not fall back between the garden bed and the fence. Plenty of room to run the weed whipper between the two structures, even for someone my size.

And, I put fence/wall sections completely around the potato bed near the garage and the raised bed where the cherry tomatoes are growing. Should help keep that vegetation inside the beds and out of the way of the mowing service.

Those potato plants, and the ones back by the fence are easily 1-2 foot tall already. Wow. Those fence/wall sections may not be pretty, but should do the job.

And, I started whipping the deck into shape. Unbagged the two chaise lounges that somehow managed to allow water to seep inside the bags over the winter. They need a good mildew cleaning bath. And the bags need to air out and dry a lot.

Also pulled the other lounge from the box in the garage and set it up near the house on the “grass” carpet.

Looks nice.

Just need to ignore the canvas bags hanging over the railing.

Just about ready to take a nap on that new lounge, and Enjoy Life.
