Here are the small raised beds....growing cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and strawberries. In the background you can see a large tree. To the left of it is a smaller tree and it is completely covered in muscadine grape vines!

Looks like we are ahead of schedule. Chickens will be 4 months old next week and we have our first egg today!!!! Yes, it is small, but it is an egg! Maybe we should gold plate it.

Nich,
I'm sure you've discussed it and I just missed it - what's the reason for the "covering" on three out of the four beds?Pastemistress. Now aka Mimi

The coverings keep birds, dogs, cats and now chickens out. They are easy to take off and put back on. I plan on making them for all of my gardens. They also deter all but the most determined grasshoppers.NICHEVO

If we cannot define a simple word like greatness, how can we ever hope to use it as a measuring stick to know when we have risen beyond average?Comment

Back when I lived in South Texas we did a job for a guy who made wine from those wild grapes ! Called it mustang wine and it was mighty tasty! Got a nice looking place there Nich!People without any brains do an awful lot of talking. Don't they?!

First time on the tractor mowing the pasture....no one was run over, no one died and I didn't damage the fence much.
