We are building a liferaft for our neighborhood

All along the outside rim is taters, you can see the row that has come up already. I made a smiley face with them. I put in radishes and onions here too, and on the far side over there is more onions and a patch of carrots. On the opposite side of the taters is all our herbs rosemary basil oregano dill parsley. We got 3x 10lb sacks of taters in the ground, cut up of course. Im looking for 1000lbs of taters, with plenty of onions to go with them. This spot out here is for our neighborhood, the mailman, garbage men, and friends. The boxes in the yard are enough for us for 12 months of canning, but I will be cannin most of this as well Im sure, and we should have plenty of corn to dry, freeze, and share too.

We finally figured out what to do with this flower bed. Strawberries and blueberries. There is Grace's potatoe plant on the right. We didnt get the blueberries yet. We're gonna put dwarf bushes in there that grow only a couple feet high and wide, and can be shaped. Check out our new rock border. We ringed all the trees, too.

This is a test patch of potatoes to see if it is a good spot. They seem to be doing great so far

We have about 30 peaches. This tree just got planted last year. Peach and pepper jam here we come

Everything here is looking good

We are training the tomatoes to grow up the string, instead of out to the side. This way you maximize your space and get bigger fruits

The birds like these cherries when they are still sour. Not as much as Jack does, though. Im trying to get enough ripe to do something with, but it may not happen

That plum tree is absolutely loaded down this year. We will have wine soon

There is our silver queen corn. We ended up with 270 or so, plus rattlesnake beans and snow peas

The tomatoes are loving the sun out there. 49 plants: roma mostly, but there are about 5 other types of bush in there too. The front row is cucumbers. They are just starting to pop out of the ground
