OOPS, forgot that I had a JOB and KIDS with needs, and a farm to run and a marriage to maintain, and friends, and... oh, and that we are at that 7.5 year point in our home when everything we fixed when we moved in BREAKS!
That said, things have moved...slowly...forward. So, here is an update.
The pottager is filled and doing well. (Thanks Mark for help weeding!)
The other side of the pottager (which was supposed to be trees and perennial food plants has been reworked into an annual food garden because the trees failed to thrive in this spot. Maybe later when we have built better soil.
The herb garden is rocking. have basil, rosemary, several different thymes, sage, stevia, chives, dill, oregano, lemon balm, cilantro,lavender, and lemon balm.
Sunflower wall, pumpkins, and a border of marigolds are jumping up with all the warm rain.
We expanded the garden below the sunflowers. It now has lots of trees, and perennial food plants like strawberries.
The animal barn has been converted into a picnic area. Still working on tables, benches, lighting. and drainage....(this month of rain has taught us a lot about our land.)
The Hopkin Boys helped me move a few stones to finish the edge of the driveway. Gravel is next.
The barn is still there, standing like the large pink elephant in the middle of the room. At this point the planning of "Save the barn" part 2 is underway. (if you are interested, follow our progress on this site, or if you want to help, send me a message ... roberts.ecofarm at gmail dot com.)
More to come soon.
Enjoyed having the Hopkin clan use us as a base. We got a lot out of it, hope you did too.
