Part 4/9:
Although maintenance was deferred last year, the mower – having survived four seasons – remains in good condition. The gardener emphasizes the importance of regular care to prolong equipment life, especially given Arkansas’s brief window of favorable weather for outdoor work.
Building Projects on the Horizon
Looking ahead, the gardener discusses plans for constructing a greenhouse and screened-in porch. Originally, the plan was to build on an existing concrete pad, but now a larger foundation is desired for better space utilization. The proposed dimensions are an extension to 12 feet out from the corner of an existing foundation, extending as far as 18 feet along the house.
