My Little Soapbox

Some of our treasures from the past week’s projects. We have been kept quite busy with several outdoor projects. My chickens are the proud little owners of a new fenced run. The deer will soon learn that the fence we are putting around the garden is for them! (electric :D) Harvest is now upon me in many small ways. I lost out on my strawberries with the move of the bed and I left the rhubarb - because I couldn’t think of anything to do with it sans strawberries! Enjoy our photo bounty (yay batteries!)

Interesting Rock found while Jr. was helping Granpda dig post holes for garden fence.

Cherry Harvest 2008

Today we worked in the garden moving my strawberry patch that has been invaded by clover. Last year the clover just went nuts and we knew by the end of the season that there just wasn’t going to be a way to get it out of the existing patch. So today we started digging up the baby plants and moving them to the new bed.

It was a good day of family and sunshine. And we’ve more strawberry plants than I know what do to with at the moment. We’ve got four nice rows already and probably can fill at least two-three more!! What a great patch it will be if they all get established and flourish! But now we are all tired from the work and sun.

Happily exhausted.
