Bees, and Solar Panels!

Whew! Its been a busy week for us!

With getting ready for our CSA season to start, as well as all of the other things that need to get done, we've been keeping really busy!

Yesterday we had one of our Bee Hives swarm. They gathered on a nearby butterfly bush.

Fortunately, my Dad was able to catch them all before they flew away. They're in a new hive now, but they're still REALLY mad. :)


Another BIG thing going on, is our Solar Panels!
We've been talking about getting them, but we still were working out the details.
But yesterday, they came and began work on the garage. As of right now, there are ten panels in place!



And then, just some random pictures of the garden.

Our lettuce is looking REALLY nice!!!!

We're just glad that the rabbit's haven't gotten to it!

Our Strawberries are in now! We've been picking for the past week, and each picking gets bigger and bigger!

And that is all for right now! I'll write more later!

Planting

Well! A lot has been going on lately! We haven't had time to write on the blog in awhile!

This is just going to be an update on our produce which is growing VERY fast!

These are some of our blueberry bushes. They have already flowered, and now they have berries on them.

One of our patches of Strawberries. They are flowering right now.
Long rows of peas and garlic. :) I wonder who will be picking them this year? ;)

Some of the little green strawberries which are on the plants. They should start ripening within two to three weeks.

Our lettuce is doing very well, as you can see!

Some Pepper plants.

TONS of Tomato plants!

Some of our Rhubarb

This is the top garden, which is full of peas, onions, carrots, and red beets.

As I was walking past the bee hives, I noticed the bees hard at work.. So I took this picture to put here on the blog.

That's mainly what we've been up to. Planting and weeding mostly. Today Lydia, Daddy and I planted lots of Okra, and artichoke! :)

That's it for now! Until later!
