It was sunny out, so I decided to do get some yardwork done. The video doesn’t do justice to just how thick and tall the grass is; well over 3 foot tall in many places, with saplings starting to take root. A 6-foot wide path involves a lot of cutting!
Cool to see a scythe being used! Your backyard looks like a strange layout. Is that a dividing fence with planks missing, and a neighbor’s house in the background?
Yep, pretty much. The fence was already falling apart, so a while back I kicked out a couple planks so that I could move dirt more easily from the alley into the yard - both fill dirt for greenhouse construction (out of picture to the left) and topsoil for the raised beds I built inside it.
Shed, apple trees, alley, neighbors.
Does your apple tree produce? I can’t grow apples in my zone very well, and my other fruit producers don’t seem happy lately.
So many apples. So many apples. Last year I picked probably three bushels off the two trees, and picked up another couple off the ground into my compost pile - before the rains started and the rest went to mush in the grass.
So many apples you wouldn’t believe it. These are great old grandmother trees.
Wow! I’m super jealous, of your apples and more!
