Light posting next few days
Spring has hit with a vengeance and a lot of basic farm stuff is rising to the top of the stack. Jen and I spent the last two weeks getting in the garden. This may seem to be a long time to you city folks but here are five photos of our garden:Posted by DaveH at May 2, 2006 9:29 PM
Some of our raised beds. The round structures have been covered with plastic to hold the heat. The white structure at the left is the Duck Coop -- they live in the Garden and provide excellent bug patrol. They also have a fondness for fresh greens hence the fences...
Some of our tomato plants. The red plastic is a Wall-O-Water and really helps the plants get going in our climate. Combination of greenhouse and thermal mass for nighttime warming.
Berries and Cherries
Nothing like picking a handful of fresh ripe berries. Most of them don't make it indoors...
Of course, some of the Goats had to check out what we were doing.
This is Newgoat. Some neighbors found him wandering along a logging road. He was obviously someone's pet and they dumped him when he grew up... He had a bad infection, major copper deficiency and was very skinny when he arrived at our farm but he is fat and happy now...
And of course, our Patriarch. Meet Gohan. He is hanging out in the shade munching on sweet dandelion blossoms.
