It’s not going to chip branches, but I don’t need it to chip branches; I got it to turn last year’s flowers and butterfly bushes into mulch for this year’s cosmos flowers, and it does that just fine.

I ran a couple of last year’s scarlet salvia through just to test.

Not nice enough for my “fancy” flowerbeds, but certainly good enough to keep the weeds down around the cosmos at the back of the lawn, and it was kind of fun. In two hours, I cleaned up the perennial beds, and most of the Honeysuckle Horseshoe. What would have been a big pile of stuff that would take ages to decompose is about 1/3 of a kitchen trash bag.

The wind finally calmed down enough to hang my bird balls. I put one on the north side, near the bird feeders.

The other is in the crabapple tree that I don’t intend to cut down.

Crabapple flowers. Now, with leaves!

I got the scalloped concrete edging; I bought 29 and brought 18 home yesterday, and the last 11 today.
Poor HK does the work of a truck! I don’t know whether I’ll do that tomorrow, or work on getting the ground ready and some seeds in it. I do, however, know I’m TIRED now, and just want to shower and go to bed!
