Latched

Well got the gates done today as well as the little walkway up to the main gate. Starting to hit the home stretch. Still have the arbor to do as well as the trellis. We decided to run a wire trellis between the post on top of the fence rather than cut the post flush with the fence. The trellis might take some time. Mostly decisions, like what gauge wire and most important what to grow? Putting it up shouldn't be too difficult. (Famous last words).

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.

Down time

Decided to take the kid down to grandpa's for the day. Grandpa came up the other day and helped set the post for the fence but didn't get to see the little one so we came down. It was nice. Got some important things done like looking at the creek, sitting on the tractor, and the favorite pastime of shooting the breeze while porch sittin.

A fence makes a good neighbor

Well it's been awhile since we last posted on here. You could guess why if you saw the last post. Even with the new addition we have kept busy on new projects. I won't bore you with a list and I probably couldn't remember them all so we will start fresh. The wife left town so instead of hanging out at the bar I figured I would bust my hump and build a new fence. I got some much needed help setting the post from my old man then of I went hanging boards. A few days later and we're pretty much there. Just need to design a gate and arbor and cut the post down to size. Not to bad for a weekend.
