I planted the last of the sweet potato slips last night. I put them in a different area this year and swapped them out with my corn patch, I do hope that was a good choice. I’m pleased to say also that the perimeter fence/driveway posts/grape arbor posts are now cemented into the ground, the hard work of digging post holes in solid rock is complete. We can now focus on the horizontal pieces & wires and really start making this place look great!

I planted “Nest Egg” Gourds in the front of each and every coop. My hope is that they will all grow up and cover the front of the coops offering additional shade during the hot summer days ahead.

We’re about to chainsaw down the Forsythia bush at the front of our yard, it is apparently making a wonderful nest for mice, and THEY MUST GO!

Once I get done putting up the new fence & cleaning everything up, we’ll do a video walk through of it all.

I am doing pretty well to keep my Gardens page updated, more specifically my Harvest Amounts & Garden Expenses. The garden plans are a little out of date and I will try and update those soon. Check out what we’re harvesting and how much here: http://dawnonthefarm.com/gardens.html
