4-ft bushy cedars in 15-gal tubs at Meador’s are $90 Nope.

31 March - used new Troy-bilt electric tiller, works well to 4”-6” deep, occasionally gets stuck with rocks just the wrong size. Housing needs to be arched over tines, not flat.

Planted potatoes and onion sets, watered some - handspraying with hose. Need to fix hose coupling that leaks when there’s pressure on it. Also a longer hose, with a male end instead of cut hose, on front faucet. And a 50’ 12-gauge or 10-gauge extension for first section to tiller.
