✅ Marked safe from our weekend project involving a trencher and planting ~100 daffodils ~350 tulips and ~750 crocus 🫠🤯

Plan is to water them in tomorrow and top dress with compost.

My body does not appreciate crawling around on my knees for hours. 👴🏻

Yesterday after finishing up backyard trenching (for conduit) I managed to pull another 150 linear ft across 6 rows in the front yard for ~338 tulip bulbs, which also got planted.

Would you believe me if I told you I’m sore this morning? 😅

Later today it’s two more 6 inch deep 24 ft trenches for daffodils and however many 4 in rows I can fit in the rest of the space for crocus, while leaving a push mower sized gap by the sidewalk as a “cue to care”

LOL. I look up and there’s a guy from the power company staring at me. So I take an AirPod out.

“What are you doing?”
“I’m planting bulbs. What are YOU doing?”
“I’m with [power co] responding to a call.”I stare at him, he stares at me.
“So, how can I help you?” He just stares at me. So I get back to work. And he eventually leaves.

I’ve called 811 three times in the past six months. I only need to worry about gas and water lines that are minimum 18 inches deep… where I’m not trenching.

GTFO dude, and Karen neighbors.

This morning I ran the second backyard trench to where shed 2 will be… someday. So much fun.

On to the front yard for the #BulbLawn!

Once I pull the trench I plant the bulbs because on the next run, the auger takes soil from the in-progress trench and fills the last one. LOVE IT.
