A friend came with his big trencher so I can finally finish the french drain for the irrigation system. The trenches total 45' long X 8" wide X 36" deep. I started lining the trenches with heavy ground cloth, but I was 15' short so I'm work-stop until my order arrives.

Went to town to get my haircut & to pickup mineral blocks for the cattle (they had the sulphur blocks but no trace mineral blocks). More 'supply chain' BS... UPDATE: Apparently feed stores are having a difficult time getting them as most are out of stock. We did find a place that had them so I'll make a special 60 mile trip tomorrow & get 6 or 8 of them.
Made pizza dough & sauce for tonight's supper.

Seasoned up a thick sirloin that I'll put on the smoker for supper.
Fed cattle.
Raked out the gopher mounds so I can see if they're still digging.
Divided the seed potatoes & dusted with sulphur so they can scab over. I hope to plant them tomorrow.
Spread the pea gravel on the roads. Another 5 or 6 loads & the roads will be done.

Planted 2 rows of 'Red Pontiac' potatoes. I'm 6 days late getting them in the ground...

Saw the first 2 wasps of '23... 1 did not survive. Needless to say, I filled the wasp traps & hung them up.
