Making progress...

Well, May is over and I am busy busy.   The greenhouse was such a good investment.  It is the first day of June and already I am harvesting produce.  We have eaten more lettuce than ever before.  Yes, those are pumpkins you see.  I did not plant as many as last year.  I do remember their attempted hostile takeover of the strawberry bed.  Still, we did have pumpkins. 

If you are wondering about getting a greenhouse let these two photos explain why it is such a good thing.  The tomatoes in both of these photos were planted from seeds at the same time.  One is planted outside and the other inside.  The difference is amazing. 

Please, do not let this innocent looking creature fool you.  She is not guarding the basket.  She is the carrot thief.  Looks so sweet huh? 

Every year we add a few more lengths to our orchard fence.  It is getting harder and harder to take photos of, as it is getting bigger.  Everything we've planted looks great.  So far I've only lost one apple tree.  Still it is trying for the impatient gardener.  I have about 2 or 3 more years before it really starts producing.

I know this doesn't look like much, but it is the progress on our future barn projects.  Those logs in the center are the beginnings of a retaining wall.  If you look close there is a shimmer of green from the tiny grass sprouts.  I would appreciate it if do not comment that you don't see the green.  I keep telling my husband it is there.  It is hard to see the possibilities, but keep following.  I promise it will look good in the end.

Don't think we spent the whole time working.  Every morning I sit in my chair and enjoy a few cups of coffee. 

The bears even went fishing.
