The last piles

Finally got the the remaining piles of the garden waste into a skip. It doesn’t look it but it took hours. It’s a pain that we can’t have fires in NY 🙁 Going to have to come up with a cunning way to disguise our bonfires as a rather large bbq. That said not a good idea to burn this stuff because of the poison ivy.

The poison ivy has now started to come to leaf so it’s easier to spot. Aimee in the background is going around marking these buggers with orange paint and also a dash of weed killer, hence the splashes of colour you can see.

Stop press. So it would appear that we can have small campfires, subject to certain restrictions, most of which seem pretty reasonable. What I can’t understand is this restriction, “However, this is not allowed from March 16 through May 14 due to the increased risk of wildfires.” Weather in Kingston throughout most of that has been either cold, wet, damp, snowy or a little sunny. We’re not talking about California drought conditions here.
