Weeds have started to flower and even seed, so I rented a cultivator from Taylor Rental late yesterday. Unfortunately, it didn’t work – it kept stalling, and Ron noticed that some of the tines were broken – so Ron exchanged it for a killer machine with two sets of tines and a better motor: a Mantis.
He plowed deep furrows around four gardens. I started raking out the grass and weeds and gave up after a while, but Ron worked three and a half to four hours straight until almost 4:30 in 95 degree heat.
He found another problem with the second machine. The person at Taylor Rental was great, told Ron he appreciated the feedback.
Meanwhile, we installed the lamp harp, which arrived today. Had to take the lamp apart and rewire it, but everything seems to be working.
After dropping off the cultivator, we stopped in North Falmouth for ice cream. I bought a finial at North Falmouth Hardware. Ron treated us to ice cream next door at Holy Cow.
I’m glad we got all that done. Big day tomorrow: hazardous waste collection and standout/standouts for MTR.
