Cocktail hour in the back 40

Join me wont you for a muddy ditch martini? Its all worth it, the beans and squash are going gang busters and the tomatoes are just starting to turn!

First Squash Blossoms

yummy what to stuff them with...

Last week of June and some surprises

Peaches - what a surprise, we had such a bad spring frost we didn't even notice these guys till the wind blew!
Knee high by July - looks like we will have corn, and some monster tomatoes!

Toms and Bees!

We got this great bee house from our friend - now just waiting for them. These first tomato's were hiding!

The grass is so thick and high now Jackson thinks he can hide in it...almost Jackson!

more veggie moments

native grass

hours and hours of being stooped over with rubber gloves picking out the weeds

before you can plant grass

you have to flatten the ground somehow...

ohh no...piles of weeds

first baskets of veggies

transforming one day at a time

success with squash

Water and they will come...

first the transfers from the old apartments

It was like trying to grow things on the sun....
