Spring 4-1-2011

Oh my! It has been months since I have posted anything. I Guess that is what happens when you have a second family move in. Seems like with all the extra people we could get a lot done around here and I would have a ton of spare time. Not the case. More people = less spare time.

We got a really late start on the building of the greenhouse. But, it is now finished. Well, except the inside door. The weather was already too warm to worry about the inside door anyway. But I was able to use the greenhouse to start my seeds. Hooray! No more seeds sitting in my kitchen floor. It was also VERY handy to have a new faucet plumbed out the the greenhouse. Now I don't have to lug buckets of water out there to keep things growing.

We also plumbed a faucet out by the garden and animal yards. Much easier to water the garden and fill those water tanks for the animals. Here's a picture of the new greenhouse.



Next is a picture of our tilled garden, ready for some plants. This is our 2nd full garden planned in this spot and the garden soil is awesome. I spent all last year putting our kitchen compost, horse manure, goat manure and lawn clippings in there. It looks and feels great. I just hope the plants do well. In the picture it looks huge, but I don't think it really is. We did install 3 sprinklers to cover the whole garden bed when watering.



I need to go around and take some more pictures of all the trees, and plants that I have going now. Most of my landscape is fruits and veggies. I do have some ornamental plants too.
