Picture post.

In the following picture you can see the new expanded chicken garden. I still need to plant this up but so far it has a row of peas that we will probably eat but the chickens will get the shells and trimmings.



Here is the strawberry bed after a bit of weeding. If you look close you can see that the strawberries have escaped and are colonizing the grass. I plan to pot them up and try and grow them on the deck.



Jess and I planted up a number of the garden beds with spring plants last weekend. We also added another compost bin.



The apricots decided to wait until the good weather was over and bloom in today's high winds and rain.



Kind of an over all shot of the garden to give you an idea of the progress. It is amazing that we have all of this and it is still early April.



Even the hops are practically shooting out of the ground.



Well maybe more pictures tomorrow.

Wow Rick, are those extremely large plants in your garden Rhubarb, they must like it there. With all of those gardens you are going to be very busy this year.

Thanks guys. We got off to a quick start this year. This has been one of the warmest Springs on record around here.

Mr. H. - Yes that is rhubarb all right. It just seems to love living in our garden. Not sure what type it is I inherited it from my grandmother. I like to think it was the same strain that grew on her fathers farm. The same rhubarb that they grew and sold at the farmers market. It probably isn't but I still like to think that it is.

Shepherd to Be and Noura - Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment.
