New Spring Garden

I built several poly tunnels using recycled greenhouse plastic. Locating them on the sunniest portion of our property has allowed a great head start on our tomatos, peppers and squash.


This is a bit of jungle that I converted to a garden. The fence is for wind and chicken protection.

Full Morning Sun

Wow, this is the moment when our little valley comes alive!

The song birds descend when Venus rises and then run from the sun to the deeper valleys.

We get direct sun from 7:30 until early evening, and every gardener knows that morning sun is the best!

Here is the view from our front door. I give credit to the unknown early builders of our little cottage, they went to considerable effort to build a huge stone retaining wall in the middle of the forest and off the road system.

I always figured there must have been a good reason for all the trouble, and now that we have cleared the jungle we are being allowed to see first hand why this awesome location was chosen.
