GROW GROW GROW




I went to the garden this morning and pulled a few weeds and  harvested broccoli & strawberries.  The birds were singing, the sun was shining, it was like being at church.

This morning I planted my companion plants, amaranth, borage, cilantro, radish, onion, garlic and stevia.  Hopefully it will help keep the pests away and keep things organic.

Below are some spring photos from around the property.
Peonies:
The Catalpa trees are so cool in bloom, then they get those long bean pods in fall:


Grapes and general garden shot.  These 2 photos were taken 10 days ago.

I also have to send out a huge thankyou to Heidi for the 65 gallon water tank.  It is so cool, it fits in my car and holds enough water for the entire garden, however, the last time I went to fill it, the hose fell out of the top and filled my car instead.  I am still drying out the car and the boys no longer want to ride in my car because it smells terrible.  Anyone have suggestions?????
