Temps in the 90s and 89% humidity this week. I don't mind the temps, but the humidity is a killer. :/
Thanks for the ideas FF.
The landlord thinks a garden is a "marvelous" (his word) idea. But he is against any build up of soil anywhere on the property. I can't say I blame him, now that we have been there a bit. We haven't had rain in over a week and the area that gets enough sun for any garden is still quite wet. Actually, the whole property needs soil built up, so if one area gets built up, puddling would be a huge problem. If we are still there in spring, I am thinking we will stick with container gardening.
The wet ground gives me great concern for any poultry on the property. The property is 2 1/2 lots, which according to the landlord is just under 2 acres. A great deal of the property is wooded. There is a second cement pad on the property, where the landlord had his boat parked at one time. I asked if we could put a small shed there for the flock. However, so far, I have not gotten any positive response about this idea yet.
We have one neighbor to the south of us, and 2 across the street to the east of us. We are on a rural dead end street. So there is a lot of good about this location.
Since the old property is reverting to horse farm, our friends Paul and Sophia are taking down the hen house from inside the barn this week.
Still no internet at home, so I am off to get stuff done.
Have a great day!

Thanks to everyone for the prayers for my sanity - I do feel much better. Maybe I am here to get this place cleaned up and fixed so the next tenant doesn't die here..... I just don't know.
