Entire chokeberry harvest this year
On Friday I was up by 5AM and got the post up. I got the kitchen cleaned up and got started on the sorting.
Somehow we had overlooked this pile of boxes in the office. So I went through that.
I ended up with 2 bags and 2 boxes for donation.
My #2 intern arrived at 7AM and we went up and got the rest of the boxes out of the attic. When I went up after to get a photo, I discovered 2 boxes in the back that had been missed. I also want to straighten out the bags that will remain on this side.
She sorted papers for shredding and I worked on book boxes. My helper friend arrived at 8:45AM and got started with the first foliar feeding of the year.

He got everything done that needed it and used the leftover as a drench for the ones who needed something extra. He finished about 10AM. He picked the chokeberries. I had seen them on Sunday when mowing, but hadn’t gotten out there.
It was hot and VERY humid so he sat and cooled down a bit. Then he took the big pile of boxes of recycling out to the trash shed. He cleaned up things like extra paper bags, envelopes, etc.
My #2 intern carried all the boxes back up to the attic and put them on the right side. Many she had carried down had already been sorted and put on the wrong side of the attic.
I’m wondering how many of the boxes on the right side haven’t been done, or are save boxes…
My #2 intern had started running the shredder. She left at 11AM and my helper friend took over the shredder until he left at 11:45AM.
I had been doing the book boxes and of course, had to be inspected.
The office is still a big mess. I found a bag that hadn’t been sorted for shredding and went through it. There are 2 bags of paper needing to be shredded.
I put the ornaments back on the bookcase shelves. I also packed up the homeschool papers I wanted to keep for my son and also the personal papers, etc I was not discarding. These had gone to the attic.
On Saturday I need to go to the attic in the very early morning and look through the boxes. I hope to get rid of many of the books on Wednesday.
I also need to harvest zucchini and cucumbers and broccoli. It’s to be another hot humid, cloudy day so I need to do this early in the morning too.
Then I guess it’s shredding and cleaning up the office.
