June Yard and Garden

June roses came in two weeks earlier this year.

Our apple trees look like they'll produce some apples this season. Last year was a bust. Completely organic at this point.

With the fence up,  the vegetable garden is finally off to a pretty good start. A late start I might add.

The greenhouse bed still has swiss chard in it but that's about it. I'll be starting some roses from cuttings in their soon.

Memorial Day Party

Well on this beautiful Memorial Day weekend we had our 1st backyard party which included grill food near the pool and pizza down further in the back. For the folks who ventured all the way into the back they were greeted by over sized marshmallows and Hershey chocolate bar yielding friends at the campfire pit.

It was the first fire in the new pit and it was great. I cant wait to start utilizing it more often. The "woodchuck proof" fence is up around the garden and so far so good. Hopefully we'll be able to once again garden freely without  disappointment like the past ravaged gardens.
