garden update

I picked 6 large bags of cabbage and kale today. Nicole and I washed it and chopped it up. I'll keep it in the freezer for stir fries and soups. I still have another 6 bags to harvest. I need a bigger freezer. The daylilies began to bloom. I'll plant the plants I bought in Italy. They will take the place of all the cabbage and kale. Everyday I pick a big handful of ripe strawberries. I love my garden!

Things are a bit slow here due to an abnormal rainy season. But I'm sure it will pick up soon once this storm passes.
Nice to have an abundance of produce already.

We have had allot of rain too but cabbage and kale like that. Your garden looks really nice Shelley. It's only 10 times as big as mine (maybe more). I'm sure it's 10 times as much work too. I have a tone of weeds to pull. But I'm happy to actually have something to show for all this work. The potatoes are also doing great. Only one of my tomatoes has flowers so far. But the plants look good. I hope to be processing tomatoes all summer! The cucumbers keep dying. They need more sun that's for sure. And all the squash is small.

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
