My frind L asked me to post some pictures of my gardens this year. Here you go, my friend. Sure beats the hell out of Calgary for growing, lol. I think you still had snow when these pics were taken.

The homestead. Notice how much the front gardens have grown in since just planting them last year….

The back porch and the veggie beds. These pics were a couple of weeks ago, so they’ve grown in quite a bit since. Notice my pride and joy – an irrigation system for the veggie beds! Worth every penny. Now we can leave town for more than two days without our veggie plants shrivelling up. Now we have lettuce, spinach, baby carrots, zucs, turnip greens, etc ready.

The berry patch in the backyard is now fenced – with a chicken coop fence, but it keeps Laughlin and Maggie out. they were getting their feasts of strawberries and Laughlin had just started to every-so-gently nibble the raspberries off the canes too. Last year Maggie ate all the pears. Not this year! I have foiled you, dogs!!!

We put our guests to work. Auntie W and her friend K came over (pre-fence) for tea and we had VERY fresh strawberries! and of course mint tea, since we are overrun with mint and herbs.

The side yard has some of Jrock’s prized roses… these are both climbers and just in their second years. But they’ll look great soon. The veggie barrels – I never decided what to put in the last two, so they are still vacant. But the rest are tomatoes and peppers.
