Email from Jim Carpenter that he would be here at 12:30 to work but he arrived about 11:30 – we repotted the Christmas Cacti that had 5 plants ina 4 in. pot – and one is full of buds. Sifted and added peat & composed cow manure to the compost soil in potting bench ready for potting.
Then finished raking & sweeping patio & adjacent beds – Leaves to compost – 1:30 at computer room I gave Jim my former Olympus & Sony digital cameras & installation discs – not workikng but he collects cameras. His $500 one is lost.
Has a herniated disc in his spine & painful to even stoop over $30 [?]
