Today I got out to work a bit in the garden, and thought I'd post a few pictures of the progress!
My main task today was to empty out one side of the compost silo that Tony built for us (remember him and Laura? They're now in Brazil serving at a YWAM base www.tonyandlauralewry.blogspot.com). The product of months of micro-organisms and our fruit and veg waste? A wheelbarrow load of delicious, nutrient-rich dirt! I put it under the eaves so that it won't get filled with rainwater and be IMPOSSIBLE to move. Another day I'll spread that good stuff around and make some plants happy!
Like these:
forefront: beets, broccoli
behind: rosemary, strawberries, lettuce, thyme
far right: weeds, scrawny potatoes
TabbyCat and one of the girls came over to check out the new growth.
The dogs sat around being useless, but at least not actively destroying our property, as they are want to do. Please note the artistic lines and shadows. The dogs appreciate fine art. That's why the white one's name is Van Gogh. (I kid you not...)
Happy Valentine's Day, by the way!

Your garden looks lovely.
thanks! we occasionally get to eat things out of it, which is really nice. we just planted some seeds in little pots (which are now in my window, sprouting)... once they get big enough hopefully they, too, will flourish and be fruitful! :)
