Washing.
G is working on wagon. Bob came C came, then C and Guy left to bale hay over at C's.
Most to damp, didn't get but 2 loads baled.
G fixed 2 tires then worked some on car.

I pulled grass from 2 rows of taters.


L's potato raised beds; Prepare bed by adding rich compost and chicken manure. Make deep trenches to plant seed potatoes (blues, reds, yellow fins, etc). As the plants grow taller, pull in the raised rows of soil around the plant. Continue to do this to allow potatoes to produce fully. You will have pounds and pounds of potatoes through late Spring and Summer.

Good time.
Florence and Terry went to Detroit.
Nice day!
