Our various berries are starting to ripe, and we've begun harvesting some. Blueberries, Red Raspberries, and Black Raspberries. We don't have any Blackberries or Yellow Raspberries yet.
This blog is about a suburban couple trying to live a more sustainable life. It started with a few pots of tomatoes in the front yard and has grown to 5 chickens, a huge vegetable garden, berry patches, a fruit orchard, canning, beer brewing, and more!

Garden Update
The progression of the gardens:
Jason and I have been working on expanding the vegetable garden and making it seem a little more put together. This is how it looked about a week ago. We are getting fencing delivered tomorrow to put around the stone paths.
Jason is tilling me a new flower garden in front of the vegetable beds! I have the BEST husband!
I went away to Dallas for a few days for work and I got back and wondered why Jason had planted things around my bean pole tee-pee and then I realized the beans had sprouted and grown this much while I was away!
The strawberries are starting to ripen. We've harvested about 2 lbs already this week and there a bunch more that will be ready soon!
2 lbs and counting!
Blueberries are going to start to color soon too!
Blackberries are blooming!
Look at the baby raspberries!

Winter Gardens
It was a nice weekend, warm for January. Walked around the gardens a bit...




These beds are right in front of the tree line in our front yard. The left one is half full of garlic (which is starting to sprout up) and the other has a winter cover crop on it (not doing as well as I wanted). We are going to be adding 2 more beds in front of these two for more veggies. We'll add 1 along the side for the Hops and Gourds. I still have to figure out where the pumpkins are going. They may go in one of the front beds where I normally just put annuals...
One of many little garlic sprouts! YAY!
Strawberry and Blueberry bed. I peeked under the straw this weekend, the strawberries look GREAT! Very excited for this spring!
Blueberry bush. This one is the oldest of the 4. Look at those buds!
Horseradish! Looking GOOD!
