I had hit the sewer cover in the middle of the yard a few weeks ago and thought I had just bent a blade. Last night after work I put the new blades on and figured out I had a bent and broken the spindle.

So I was up and at it by 8:00 this morning, on the phone to see if I could find a replacement part and found one at a place called Lumax Power Equipment. Drove out to Belton and was back home by a little after 10 and had it fixed by 11:30.

It was a little cool this morning, wore a jacket and gloves but got the yard mowed and trimmed before we get the next round of rain tomorrow.

I pulled the trigger on a 6' king kutter. I know it's not top of the line but it should do what I need to do. I'll probably till some gardens, yards and rodeo arenas for cash

This one?

My first spring caring about a lawn and taking an interest trying to getting rid of the various not my grass things going on. Finding it oddly enjoyable.

Yesterday's work. Need to finish the irrigation and plant today.

Where did you get the corner blocks that are grooved to hold your boards? Can you get those at one of the big box stores?
[Reply]

Home Depot. Roughly $2.50 each. Fits 2x6 perfectly.

Perfect. Thanks. Your project looks awesome by the way.

Thanks.

There's also a hole in there for 1/2-inch rebar.

Planting today: 2 cherry tomatoes, 2 crimson sweet watermelon, 2 zucchini, 1 yellow squash, 3 okra, 1 jalapeņo, and 1 carmen sweet Italian pepper. Also some basil, oregano, parsley, and thyme.

Patching some worn out high traffic areas and a low spot I filled in. I use a service for weed and feeding so I'm not sure how to keep them away from the area. I may just fence it off to keep the dog, kids, and pre emergent off for a few months

Donezo with the gardens, and with a couple quick mods, the irrigation works exactly as planned!

Shit man, looks fantastic! Are you a gardening veteran?

One thing I learned when growing watermelon is you need a ton of space. That thing will just keep spreading!
[Reply]

Aside from herbs, total noob. Wife and I did a ton of research, though. We'll see how it goes.

Original plan was one watermelon and one cantaloupe, but could find any of the cantaloupe. Next year will order some online, and probably a different variety of watermelon - I really like sugar babies and black diamonds, but can't find those locally.
