Taming The Jungle Of My Yard 9/21/26

It's Dizzy. I am in my yard at the house. It's been a while since I have done a video on Taming the Jungle of my yard. I figured you all might like to see an update on how much has been done. I do have this hickory tree that's got to be coming out. I am going to be renting a tractor in the not too distant future to get this out and some other stuff. But I am definitely making progress. I was going to do some weeding in here today and move the truck up. I had backed it up a while ago because I had company over and needed the extra driveway space. I can't get the truck started. I have a charger on it right now. So I think it's just because it sat so long. And that's a new battery. But you can see I need to get this all weeded. And if you watched my video from earlier in the year you know I had attempted to pull this one out with my truck. And as you can see it's just sprouting again. So that's another thing I'm going to try to get out with the tractor when I get it here. I tried to just pull out the rebar by hand. That didn't work. I'll need to take that out by tractor. And this is another hickory that I had tried to take out with the truck. It didn't work. And it looks like it's stupid. Oh dead baby bunny. Stupid Bradford pear is also coming up. I have to see what I can do about that. So like I said I have definitely made progress. I feel bad about that baby bunny. I saw it running around in the yard the other day. There had been a lot of metal over here and other trash. That's pretty much all gone. This is going to be going to an auction. Coming in the yard. This has got to be all taken care of. I'm going to be putting these things on up for sale. Get rid of them. I've got a lot of work done over in here. There's a lot of metal that I couldn't pick up. That is gone. These I have kept. These are so you can make a bench. And that is something that I want to do once I finally get moved to Kentucky. But this is much better looking. The only reason I didn't get more cleaning done around here is because of this little quote unquote pond. I'm looking to see if I'm still seeing tadpoles in it along with the mosquito larvae. The dunks that I put in there I don't think worked because they were kind of old. It's still got a frog in there and of course I've got the bucket with the other tadpoles over there. This section of the yard has been cleaned up pretty much. I need to get rid of all of this. I need to see if there's anything on that 4x4 I can use. This gas can is one I'm keeping. This kerosene you know that was actually for water. That's probably going to go bye-bye. I'm not going to be using that. I've gotten a lot cleaned up in this area. It's trying to rain right now. This is going to be going out to the farm where I can get the truck started. I've got a lot cleaned out from there. I've got a lot of weeding done in the garden with the tall stuff. There's still more that needs to be done in there. I've got a lot of cleaning up done back in here. This is all stuff I need to chip up. I've got some of the stuff out of the pond but not all of it. Of course I've got my fire pit back here. This has always been my favorite spot in the yard. I couldn't see all the neighbors from it. The biggest thing to get this done just has to have it come out. This dog pen is gone. That has been up for I don't know 40 years something like that maybe 39. I don't know my son will be 41 this year and he was over a year old when we moved in. We've had to have the dog pen put up right away because we had two outside dogs. It has not been used in years. I wanted to take it out before and it never happened but I do have some that has to be pulled out. This is where post was trying to dig it out didn't have any luck and that was basically when I decided that yeah I am going to have to get a tractor in here so I can pull that out. This stuff here is all basically just a lot of this is I don't really have to do anything to it. It's basically just turned into compost that can be put on gardens. I had to finish of course cleaning up in here and a lot of the smaller stuff I can probably just pull out easily. I'm going to take out what I can by pulling it. I'm going to take out what I can anything that I can't put out I'm going to first try to pull it out with the riding mower. Of course the bigger stuff like this little pine tree here that oak over there I'm not going to be able to pull that out. I have somebody that is going to be taking the car I'll be so glad to get rid of that and once the car is gone then I'm going to see about cutting down this oak tree. It should have never been allowed to grow there. Now one thing that I did I had this table for years and I haven't really been doing anything with it. Well I came up with this idea a while back and I went ahead and moved it over to here. Of course I got my clothes line right here so what I've been doing is when I get the clothes off the line well before I get the clothes off the line I wipe the table and then I fold the laundry right here. My kitchen table is too small I've been folding laundry on the bed and the problem with that is I have a fuzzy little puppy dog that likes to get up on the bed with me when I'm doing laundry. I don't really need her on clean laundry. So that's where it is for now. I am hoping next week I'll have even more done and at least enough to see more done and I will talk to you later.
