Hops Gone Wild

The hops are coming up like gangbusters and need trellising. Last year we took and old beat up red chair and put them in the hops. So this year the wife decided to do something different. What do think?





Garden tour

We thought we should give you a little tour of the perennial gardens. So here we go. You might also catch a glimpse of our hired help as well.























The Pie Patch

The pie patch consists of rhubarb, two varieties of blueberries, Chandler and Jersey as well as red and golden raspberries. Still trying to find space for strawberries. Someday





Garden update

Thought we would give a little update on the garden since its been so long. So here goes. First we have the garlic that we planted in October. It's seems to be doing better than last years. We got different seed and did some amending if the soil. We'll see how it goes. Next is our over wintered broccoli. This has been amazing. We have harvested so much we will probably do this every year and not bother with growing any in the summer. Then we have our over wintered red and Dino kale as well as some collards. The red Russian kale has been especially wonderful. Behind it we have snap peas that we planted in early march. So far so good. Now we have to finish planning and planting the rest of veg. All in good time.
