pics as promised

Finally getting a minute or 2 to post the pics

work is so much fun

Especially when you see the seeds growing and the potential for homegrown food. During coffee this morning I photo'd some of the garden and will post them later on . We got some real good rain last night as well as some hail. Not big enuf to do any damage but good stuff. Filled up a few more cisterns for later useage. I swear there is God fertilizer in rain because the plants grown better in rain water than mans treated tap water.

Saying good-bye to Babylon...

for 4 days at least.
Relax, swim, drink smoke and eat while putting the touches on the stead garden.. and prepping the stead for summer..
Hello Swamp cooler.....

fun stuff.

Posting will be prob more than normal or about the same. I am hoping to get some more pics up also.. We shall see.

Finally getting some rain

A nice downpour this evening.. The garden will love it.. I hate using the hose when I can use gods water to nourish the plants.. I am also refilling the cisterns for use afterwards again.. I was down to about 10 gallons of rain water.. So this is good.. Let it rain.
I have lots of gardening projects to get a move on this weekend.

Rain Rain dont go away.

Almost the weekend...

Went home last night and the spinach is wilting.. Too much sun and heat. MOved the flat into a different micr-climate in the stead and we shall see. This morning it looked a tad better.

The beans, lima and green are taking off as are the cukes. I cant wait for some good harvesting later on for next winter..
Still working on plans for the potential greenhouse/shed in the side yard that needs to get built. HOwever I need more free time and alot of free materials to accomplish this project.

Back to Babylon

Got alot done yesterday. Planted beans, more lettuce, radishes etc.. Hopefully will finish planting over the weekend. TOmatos and peppers are going strong.

Saturday in the garden

Twas rather hot yesterday (between 80-90) and tha garden was hot. cukes, suchs and the like are popping thru the soil. The beans are alsom kmaking a presence. Greens abound.
Put a new seat on the dumpie bike and prepped a few more containers for growth potential.
Did some minor maintenance around the stead and drank a lot of water and lemonade as the heat took hold.
It is supposed to cool down today a tad (only in the 70s.. I really hope so.
