Whitetails are back

There were threee whitetails here tonight. Appears to be one of the does from last year and her yearling. The third deer wouldn't stay close enough to the other two to make any of the pictures.

The Raised Bed Garden - 2007

Raised beds in the back yard, Tomatoes, Peppers, Broccoli, Onion, Turnip, Carrots, Kale and some Summer, Acorn, and Blue Hubbard Squash. Not exactly true to square foot gardening rules but we're close. This picture was taken in the evening as the sun sets on the front of the house. We will lose 1-2 hours of sun versus planting the main field, the difference is we can better watch this garden.

The Vegetable Garden

The Vegetable Garden was started today, the 6" raised beds were double dug and a good helping of straw, peat, layered with topsoil, a couple handfuls of 10-10-10 fertilizer along with some composted manure, for good measure. We're going to try some square foot gardening to increase our yields.
