And the yard - and garden - progress...
After being gone for a month-long road trip, during which time some awesome friends cared for our garden, we are catching up a bit. Here's what we have... OK, had to start with the compost pile. I love composting. Keeps us from throwing all our veggie waste into the landfill - plus turns out some amazing soil. Some folks insist you have to have a certain percentage of this and that and have to turn it regularly. Well, 4 weeks of no care just shows - compost happens! Xeriscaped area exploded! Our potatoes in back are off to a great start...I guess. Never done potatoes in bales. Guess we'll find out how it does. These "Hill Bales" are having issues. It may just get too hot back there. This is a new transplant. Squash and taters - what a combination! And the fig tree is humming right along. Blackberries are off to a good start. As are the raspberries. Bales with pumpkins and acorn squash. Front tomatoes...
