Baskets Of Edibles

Yep, that's my tiny little garden in the spot back by the fence.  Each year the hovering trees grow bigger eliminating desperately needed sun to grow big productive vegetables.  Oh well, I'm thinking of making a huge family garden at my daughter's home next year.  She has the much needed sun and space to produce huge baskets of  edibles.

The grape vine has the perfect spot to keep producing tasty grapes, as well as being a great place to sit and chill.

Last year we had maybe ten plums total!!!  The Italian plum tree, about 20 years old, was planted as a bare root.  Its  ferocious plum producing capabilities are truly a blessing, and the plums are delicious!  As you can see, this year its loaded!

New Spot For Garden

Last spring with helping hands, muscles, and a little attitude from daughter SOI and Hubby, we changed the spot for the vegetable garden.  It was a wet, and exhausting ordeal, for last spring we had 100 year old record breaking rains!  Making the removal of the sod extra heavy!  Despite the weather, we dug up loads of sod, added dirt and tilled the new garden spot.

I love hydrangeas, they're scattered all over the yard. 

This one is in the corner of the vegetable garden.

 Its been a few months, and the new garden spot has proven to be a good one.

Well....Now that you've seen what we were up to last year,

This year, I'm patiently waiting for this planting season to begin!

Hopefully in March!
