Did the Iris sale at the arboretum today. Bought 9 Irises, 2 of them were free because it was buy 5 get one free and get a free one for joining the Iris society. I helped Barbara verify the website this morning. She was still having trouble but we now have an embedded file and an html meta tag for verification.
Went up on the porch roof and started the demolition of the rotted fascia and soffitt. It's a real mess. The underlying 2x6 is disintegrated completely. I didn't expect that. It means the whole 1x8 needs removal to get to the ends of the 2x6. Even the horizontals that support the plywood are rotted. Much destruction. I went into the backyard in the afternoon and did some chain saw work. Removed the big young Oak next to the apple tree and trimmed the oak that was touching the house in the corner. I had to remove a big branch of this tree. It's much better now. Hopefully this will bring more light into the garden. Dinner was a salad with thai pepper, lettuce and cuke as well as a yummy beanburger with vidalia and garden tomato. Always good! I finished reading the book "Finding Me" about the Cleveland kidnappings. It was fascinating and surprisingly an easy read.
