I was wondering how things are going and if you have any photos?!

Also to those of you who have veggie gardens would you have any pics to show off?
I realise it's not quite the season for a lot of the Americans here.

The bees - the temps are too cold for me to check on them lately. I'll do it this weekend if it's warm enough to see how they're surviving the winter, and if I need to give them sugar blocks.

Keep in mind that 2/3 of the country is grappling with record storms, and nobody's got veggie gardens now.

They are just little sprouts but I talk to them.
Wait, actually we have green onions, celery, onions, and garlic too I think.

Here's my big garden now. Note the composter in the back left :)

I am rather picturing K casually terrorising them by saying, "I'm going to eat you all one day." As she saunters by.
She is a Domme after all.

Can't wait to see some pics in summer! That garden is huge!
PS, the snow makes the trees look nice, I don't get snow where I am.

I do feel a teensy bit cheated.

Just sayin.

Status: offline 		My place is MOSTLY gardens. I have a 25x100 foot vegetable garden, another 25x25 squash & cuke garden, a 15x30 zucchini/summer squash garden, 10 flower gardens of various sizes along the long driveway, roadside, kitchen doorway, and along several fencelines. I also keep an asparagus patch, blackberry patch, fruit trees and hope to set up an orchard with pears, plums, etc (when things get caught up).

People used to stop and photograph My farm before I had the entire yard ripped up to install a new septic tank and leach field.

And guess when GOOGLE MAPS decided to come down My road and photograph My house...right AFTER the septic installation was done. *sob*

I thought it was bunkum on increasing yield but it sure worked on cherry and apple treas when I lived in Wa.
