Gosh, the garden that Josh and the kids planted and continue to tend has gotten so lush! So much growth and it's just getting started.
Lined on back of garage...
Along the right fence...
Right fence up close...
Toward the greenhouse and on side of shed...
Other side of shed...
Bunny crops in bunny bin...
Noah adding new plants of his own beside shed...
Left fence by hot tub...
Left fence ...
Along the back fence ...
View from back corner across yard...
So pretty...
Couple of greenhouse shots...
And now some crops starting to ripen and come in ...

Um, what the??? Where are these on your one acre? How can they all fit? Where is he getting all these crazy varieties? If he runs out of space come on over to MO. I have six acres for him to start on.
ReplyDeleteHOW DID I MISS THIS COMMENT THE OTHER DAY? Blogger is definitely falling down on the email alert front.
ReplyDeleteHe has gonna seed catalog crazy - that is where he gets all these varieties. And he gets whole plants in the mail. I didn't even know they did that ... little baby plants, in special boxes, delivered to our door!
As for all that in our little yard ...I cannot tell ya. I have no idea. Plants are his domain. Ha! I will ask...
I polled the gardener - he says Obsession. 🤣
ReplyDeleteHe also says ... rareseeds.com. Its called Baker Creek. Possibly a MO company, he thinks?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!!! That man wants to be a homesteader!!! Go buy him a large plot of acreage. Ha!! I’ll come visit and he can make me a major awesome salad!!! With fruits on the side!! I’m a little jealous!!
ReplyDeleteDon't be jealous ... it eats up all his time every day!
ReplyDeleteYou should totally join him! Bonding over planting your homestead! ☺️
DeleteMAN! And I thought we had a big garden!
ReplyDeleteI actually would guess that yours IS bigger. The list just looks towering all in one place like that. 🤷🏻♀️
