Amazing things happen when the family gets together and a special thanks to the man of the coop for bringing the lady's around to insure the bad bugs are not able to reproduce for the tunnel

Finally a great weekend to work the tunnel one third of the bows in place starting to get a little excited. Took some pictures to compare it to the garden at the top of the page.

I should have skipped that last birthday not so sure I haven't lost a step this year. The tunnel is going good but really thought I would have some bows up this weekend, one side with baseboard complete and now to cut four posts that hit a big rock

Oh and the package of straw is my attempt at growing potato's vertically five layers with the bottom 4 on the outer edge to get outward growth and the top layer spread out over the whole thing so as the top grows I will continue to bury them

Raspberry patch, strawberry inclosure new for this year last years did not function as it did in my mind so reworked and changed tunnel with weeds and new tomatoes and peppers early tomatos a budding already, Planted two more peaches and they are doing well, apples (Grimes) are full of bloom
