As you walk past Semilla's torn up, hole ridden, and pooped upon landscape you come to the fence that keeps our little beast at bay from ou
r tender little plants.
Here Semilla and her pal Bravo
wonder why they can't come in the garden too.
"it looks so nice" they say...... "Oh, do I hear chickens??"
The dogs focus on the c
lucks and peeps of the chickens as Ayesha picks the multitude of tickweed from the tiger beans. We are attempting potatoes in the bags behind her.
Here is where we planted our onion, garlic and radishes, under our little apricot tree.
This picture shows our other two beds. In them lots of beans and peas. I am kind of fascinated by beans this year. Lettuce, garlic, lots of carrots, tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, basil, beets, chile and more. "What then hell are we going to do with all this produce you ask?"
There's more...
This is our "orchard". We tore down an old shed that stood here, amended the soil and planted three apple trees. This is the first year we have little apples on them. Beneath them are bush pole beans, squash, onion, carrots, fava beans from the Burdett farm (shhh don't tell customs), two grape vines and lots of wild flowers.
Lastly, here is the chicken coop. This years set up is hopefully more Semilla proof than last years. Inside you will find:
Ms. Universe,Spinderella,
and the Thompson Twins; Thompson and Thomsom. See if you can figure out which one is which.
Here they are in the coop, soon to lay eggs, we hope. They are still young little girls.
Ok then, Thanks for checking out "THE BLOG". Come over in the fall to try out some of our veggies. Putting pictures into this thing is a pain in the ass!! I think Ayesha has much more patience than I do. Stay tuned to see if I venture to undertake a blog post again....
