After I got back from Liturgy some friends came over to help work in the yard and garden. Thanks to their help the brush has been cleared, some sod has been laid down on one of the dead patches, and the composter is completely full.

I also replaced/upgraded the irrigation controller with one which allows me to run different zones on different schedules so that I can water the back yard and garden more often than the front yard. Replacing the controller was painless. It actually took longer to program it than it did to mount it and connect the wires. I’ve got a rain sensor to install, but ran out of time, which is too bad because we’ve got rain coming this week. Oh well. It’ll go on next weekend…
