Started with the driveway, so as to finish it before the sun started to broil on that side. Lots of stone on the side, have to begin placing them in waves as terraced beds for filling with compost and soil so they can be planted out..
Then the major work, to clean around the existing cilantro beds, and the hillside below the camp, and then moved down to the planting area surrounding the mango tree. I never realized how thick it was in there. I suppose, due to the fertility of the beds, compounded by the rains, the bush got out of hand, it took me 3 tanks of gas and about 10 yards of cutting line to clean it, but it is done.
By the time evening came and I had to go cut some cilantro to take to town, I was bushed, myself. To the extent that, when I went to bathe, under the hose, with cold water, my legs started to cramp, and I ended up hobbling around, sore and soo tired
I went back up last Saturday, and managed to clean down all around the back and up the terrace to both the cottage and the cabin spots before the rain came. I was changing to the blade to clear out some grass from around the mango and pear tree when the rain REALLY came down which stopped play for the day. Am going to plant out a few of the large papaya seeds and get them growing in a sheltered spot, so as to catch back the breed
