Maybe it's Limington not Standish, It's been a LONG time. Can't be sure of the route, 5 or 25, but it runs across the end of Pickerel Pond where my family had a camp.

It was on the left, but not Brackets. Some guy's yard with a sign. I always got a kick out of the name.

Probably gone by now. That was 40+ years ago! :omg:

BTW Watch out for those ferns. They spread like wildfire and are a ***** to get rid of!!

Spring 2025 garden area update.  

 

We bought 5 cubic yards of screened loam. Got closer to 6. 

Also bought 2 yards of aged cow 🐄 manure 💩 .  Got closer to 3. 

 

This weekend was loam & poo moving weekend. 

 

My 74 C160-8 Cinnamon Horse and the 17 cubic foot trailer with strap winch. 

 

Trinas Military Tribute Tractor and her 1976/76 Ohio Steel 10 cubic foot trailer. 

 

She has to keep the load weight forward so it'll haul about 8 cu ft. 

Mine can be loaded right full because of the setback axle.  

 

No idea how many loads we each pulled. I did 6 or 7. Trina moved at least twice as many loads but half the size.

You are exactly correct on both counts. 

 

1. Yes we have a Loader.  

 

2. This was all done very much on purpose to burn calories along with increasing strength and endurance.

Looks like a good set up, BUT...

The problem with Zucchini is you get so many you wind up leaving them in unlocked cars to get rid of them.

Just my experience.
