Gardening update!!!

Well here we are almost May and now we are lagging in getting things in!  Here are a few pics of things we have been working on... 

\

we are eating things out of the hoophouse.  Its been GREAT!  I want a couple more!!! 

   The kids play area... 

 The friendship gate I put in so we can have easier access to the neighbor...  It will be nice to have it cleaned up and livable again!  

Our apple trees below... two of them... They sure have alot of blooms this year! 

 Hoops... for beans etc... we are ready to get them planted soon!!! 

 Our rhubarb... its doing really well this year...

 Currants...

 Chives...

 Egyptian walking onions next to some sage and oregano... Hi Kathleen! 

 Onions... I cant wait! 

 Asparagus Bed... getting ready to border it in permanently... 

 Now I am getting sporadic.. starting things and not finishing!  lol  there are Lilacs all along this fenceline with roses that Russ has bought over the years... I am trying to get them all weeded.  We are behind the 8 ball with the weeds out of control last year... I'll get er done though... slowly but surely! 

 Our old boy... he's almost 10.  Still about the best dog in the world...

 this is where Russ will put even more tomatoes... along the driveway... next to the main garden...

 Labamba (the farm truck) ... the clutch is finally gone...lol  but he worked long enough to get all the potato boxes filled with dirt/manure/compost... I tell all the kids... if you can drive Labamba... you can drive anything!  all the potato boxes are in finally!!

 yup... taters!

Taters, sweet taters, and taters again... five boxes in all... we should have enough potatoes to last a little while anyway... 

I mowed the front end of the property today and found the strawberry bed.  I will dig out the leeks tomorrow and get the berries going!  Happy Homesteading!
