Mom's Quilt Show



Here are a couple of pics from Mom's quilt display at the quilt shop. We practically had a family reunion there on Saturday. The display was very impressive, great job Mom!!!!

New Gardening Techniques



Here are a couple of pics of some new ( to use) gardening techniques. The first one is our just finished raised bed. We are using fabric row cover over some freshly planted beats. We tryed the row cover on our first batch of radishes, and the covered ones came up well before the uncovered. Looks pretty promising. The other picture is of the early started flowers and herbs in the cold frame. They are doing very well.

Broccoli Plants



Here is the first batch of broccoli. Came up great, and growing even better. There is nothing like fresh broccoli!!!

Updated Seedling Room





We have been hard at work in the seedling room. Build two new shelfs to store the new plantings. Just have to hang the lights on the third level. The tomato plants we started early are growing like weeds. Had to put them in some bigger pots. We will see how they do when they hit the dirt in a couple of months. The may be 2ft tall by then.
