It appears the local resident quadrapeds have found our tomatos
and are feasting on the low hanging fruit, so I am going to have
to come up with some creative solution. I would prefer not to
pluck the tomatoes before they ripen, but we may have to until I
can work out a plan of action.
Received the new whetstone I had ordered not only for the bush
blade, but also for the ditch blade after peening. Previously
when I had peened the ditch blade and then tried to make the edge
keen with the medium grit natural stone, it just wouldn't do the
job. I later learned it is good to go over the blade with a
coarser synthetic stone after peening then finish with the medium
grit natural stone. The final edge took a small nick out of my
right thumb when I was putting the blade back on the snath, so
obvious it worked. With scything, it is a constant learning
process. I'll get back after it in the morning.
In other news, this is how Washington is going to finish us all
