Another day, another bed, another bug. well,not really a bug. and yeah, it burrowed down about 10 cm. My arugula came up okay in that area. I dug in after the harvest, nothing there.

Feel the heft of the fork
Feel the earth's crumble
Bend and dig; shake off
The soil from the wèeds;
Like you I can dig too
Shifting out the big stones
Foot pressing on fork
Levering and lifting
Doing what I watched
You do in garden or
Allotment - inherited
Digging action returning.
Colourful visitor to our fatball feeder today - making good inroads as she* clung on.
*No red patch on her head, so we definitely have a pair in the area - ref photo earlier in the week
The grass we got from home depot was total crap, so after all that work we had to remove it all, throw it back in the car, take it back to the store, return it, go get grass at another garden center (which was a million times better and not much more expensive), then after talking to some neighbours we also realized we need to put in a "French Drainage System", which involved digging long trenches all over the yard, installing a pipe and covering it all again with pebbles and soil before laying out the new grass. A job that took all day long in the hot hot hot sun, after working all day and all night both days on the weekend.

You can see the fresh ground I have been scraping and digging in, located on a slight slope of the hill depicted in the other pics of the sagenite site at Tapado, in Chihuahua, Mexico, a few miles to the southeast of San Carlos Canyon. I collected about thirty pounds from this spot, including an amethyst geode I gave to Jim, before quitting and moving across the arroyo to check out the spot where my helper and guides were digging other agates. It is a little treacherous, due to the cactus plants mixed in with surrounding vegetation and a few scorpions we sometimes dig up with the rocks.
