Fig tree

Everyone who passes by wants to know how this fig tree got so big. It IS lovely. And the neighbors admit that they chuckled when Suzy first planted the tiny little thing in the front of the yard. Now they are so impressed!!

Spring 2017

Green

The plan was to let the chickens dig out all of the existing vegetation and expose the rocks. It worked. I raked up all the big rocks, evened out the soil a bit and spread rye grass seed and... this is what happened. The final part of the test is to see if the chickens dug out all the worst weeds and if the rye grass will keep them from coming back. The weed I am trying to get rid of is really prolific, for one, and produces super sharp and spiny stickers. Fingers crossed.

Baby

When you buy a pineapple, twist the top off. Let it dry for one week. Stick it in the dirt. It will grow. Eventually, as long as you don't kill it or let it freeze, this is what happens - a baby!!!!

Happy

Black foot daisies make me happy. That is all.
