A Day in the Garden


Day 3


After a very productive day working on the house, Heather and I decided to spend the day in the garden.  Actually, the very productive day also meant sore arms and legs.  So rather than climbing up and down the ladders and step stools we sat on the ground a picked rocks out of the garden plots!  She has 5 raised beds and plans to plan artichokes, sweet peas, tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, watermelons and pumpkins.  


The septic system (actually a water purification system) is scheduled to go in on Friday.  The run off will be channeled into drip hoses that are under the orchard area to the west of the house.  Once the system is installed we can start planting the fruit trees that are sitting around the yard in buckets.


Here is a picture of the three turkeys that live with the chickens.
