Here's where we are working.
Notice that standing water and patch of reeds down there?
I spent a good part of the day taking off nasty, tenacious patches of soggy reeds. Reeds are pretty tough. When you try to put a spade through them they resist with vigor.
The trick is to "comb" them out of the way.
As neither I nor the fellow I'm digging alongside have had to use a comb for some years, this was a skill that required re-learning.
Magnificent weather, really could not be improved upon. The next few days should start getting interesting.

I'll be putting comments into "moderator" format for a while. Sometimes they get a bit off topic. I'll post almost all of them even the One Weird Trick Spamsters if they amuse me. I also answer my email at dagmarsuarez@gmail.com
