Shilo's gardens!!!

This year Shilo wanted a big garden, only it is located in 4 different areas around our yard. (Shilo always likes to do things BIG!)
This is Shilo's pride and joy! His strawberries. These plants are 12-14 inches tall. They have lots of blooms this year and we will get lots of berries.

Shilo likes stawberries so much that he ordered about 175 more plants. They are really small right now, but next year we will have them comming out our ears.


This is Bryan standing behind the shop. He is standing by our black raspberries, (and one purple raspberry) plants. In the back is 7 rows of peas.



This is our main garden plot. We have 4 rows of potatoes (red and yukon gold). Then there are 3 rows of bean, but some bug ate most of them. Then we have onions, broccoli, and lettuce. This picture doesn't show it, but now there are 8 tomatoe plants. Then we have 1 row of a white pumpkin, and one row of a orange pumpkins. By the cow pasture is two rows of raspberries.


Caleb always finds the water and mud. I change his clothes at least twice a day. But he loves it outside.

We also have by the east side of the shop, where the goats were, are 7 rows of corn. but i don't have a picture yet. they are just coming up. We also planted rhubarb and 4 watermelon plants. (I told you shilo does things BIG!)


It is alot of work, especially weeding, but we will enjoy the food. I can't wait for my family to come on the 4th of July because it all should be coming up really good by then.
