Vegetable Garden

Well the vegetable garden is still going, but is coming to it’s seasonal end. I’m still getting about a quart to a quart and half of green beans every two to three days. Fresh out of the garden green beans are the absolute best!

The tomatoes have slowed down a lot, their taking forever to turn [...]

Fresh Out Of The Garden

Fresh vegetables right out of the garden are the absolute best! They look good, they smell good, and they taste great! So, far we have been enjoying tomatoes, cucumbers, a few green peas and lots of green beans. I have been eagerly awaiting the zucchini and I picked the first one from the garden yesterday, [...]

Birds Like Red Raspberries

Garden Preparation

In The Yard

Gee…I sure am happy with my new cordless lawn mower, it works great! Now that I have my garden ready for plants I need to go and find some plants to plant. I think I’ll plant starts this year and maybe try starting from seed next year. Between the weather and the time it took [...]

Compost Piles
