Our garden has started producing quite a bit of delicious produce over the last couple of weeks. Here is a more recent photo of our raised beds.
The lettuce is almost done for the season, but before we left on vacation I was able to pick a five gallon bucket to take with us!
I also froze over 20 packages of broccoli before our trip. That should last us a while!
And when we got back, we had these beautiful cucumbers waiting for us. Next up: pickles! (Luckily I left the garden set up with a timer for watering because we didn't get any rain while we were gone)
Just when the salad fixings start ripening, the lettuce stops; but I have managed to make a couple of completely homegrown salads.
Our horse pasture has also been growing this spring. We finally planted grass seed and spread the fertilizer a couple of weeks ago. The horses have been enjoying their fresh grass!
And here's a shot of the first (that we've seen) venomous snake on this property - a copperhead. Rabi didn't notice it as we walked down the driveway.
The horse pasture looks great - a huge difference since our visit last summer! The snake is beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteWhile we were at Margaret's, Richard was fooling around with Google Earth & we did your address. They already have a picture with the cleared pasture. Its scary how those guys keep up with us. The garden veggies look great, Matthew is getting healthier as I write. Jane
ReplyDeleteYour produce hauls are impressive. Its hard to believe the difference of a few hours, but we haven't picked anything yet, though a few peppers are visible. Miran did plant late this year though.
