Plenty of pictures to come of the progress around the farmhouse. From an update on the raised beds, to the orchard. Much work to be done still as spring starts to set it.
March 5th view of the cutting board before dinner. Only the Cilantro was grown by us (raised beds through winter, the plants have been cut 10+ times and still growing strong!), but one day the Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower, and Garlic will be thriving in the raised beds and 20 x 20!
February 27th Orchard with garlic and compost/mulch cover.

February 27th Fuji Apple with garlic cloves and Recharge sprinkled over the mound before being covered over.
March 9th our new Elberta Peach tree is mounded and planted with 10 garlic cloves!

March 9th view of the Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Cilantro bed, nitrogen deficient plants signified by the yellow leaves on the Cauliflower.

March 9th update on the Garlic bed
March 9th eye test. Seriously, there are a few rows of French Breakfast Radish planted in one of the partitioned areas and Detroit Dark Red Beets in the other. At the moment it appears about 50% of the radish have peaked above soil level.

March 9th update on the 20 x 20. Our hand chair arrived with the compost and is patiently waiting to be placed in the garden.


March 9th Pineapple Sage and Thyme plants we are attempting to establish. Covered in compost and black plastic mulch (slowly cutting it back as the plants grow), using extra planters to make watering easier on the sloped mound.
