Another Tour

The peas are just right out of hand in the back raised bed; way up over the little fence but they are blooming so hopefully we will get some peas eventually.
 Yellow squash
Parsley needs to be put out in the sun.
A few of the tomatoes planted.
The lettuce patch that I pick my lunch from every day (along with a few green onions from the bed beside it).
I did end up planting potatoes in the deeper bed. 
Yup, can't see anything can you? This is the strawberry bed that I planted 25 strawberries in . Two have come up and one from last year. I guess I'll try to pick up more but I'll see if the feed store has some this time. 
Curious chickies. 
Getting bigger!
Flowers from the abandoned flower garden. They do real well when I just leave them alone apparently.

    1. Those tulips have been up on that hill forever now and I think a couple of them bloomed once the year after I put them in. This is only the second time. I believe these were supposed to be the "black" tulips but they never really are black.

    1. I would be incredibly happy if it would just stop raining every weekend. Great for the garden but not so great for the pigs pen--not that they mind it any but I DO!

  3. So many cute chicks!
    You can make the best use of dried bird drops, which is a good fertilizer!

  5. Becky, those raised beds are a great way of showcasing your ingenuity with the use of miscellaneous materials. I took the easy option with mine, by buying sawn, planed and treated timber from the DIY store (though some years ago my first beds used improvised materials just like yours.)

    1. I imagine these won't last forever and will have to be replaced eventually but for now they will have to be good enough. I really can't afford to spend money on wood right now.
