Just went around taking pictures of the new plantings, things coming up, the orchard and my full and filling beds.

My deck pots set up and growing:

Driveway bed full of shelling peas & the cabbage the rabbit got last night:

The DD finished flower bed she's so proud of:

The river birch we transplanted from my mom's yard in the fall w/ tulips coming up:

The new raised garden bed area 15' x 50' 7 raised 8'x4' beds. We'll be moving the potting table over here with a little rubber maid storage shed for my tools.

Of course, no garden is complete without spring chicks in the coop with their mama!

Looks great vfem!!

Hopefully your orchard will have lots of fruit on it this season.
The little chickies in the last picture are quite cute!


Nothing like the feeling of Spring to keep you looking forward to life.

Thanks for the pictures! ;)

Everything looks so nice! Your yard looks really big in these pics. How neat you have a lake in the back. :cool:

I love the pic of your wee helper :) the pride she has in her garden just radiates from her!

What kind of trees do you have in your orchard?

DD has been thinking about which Tomato plant she wants in her garden now she knows she gets one of her own. :D

We've had nothing but yellow pollen and rain so our allergies have had us hiding inside the last 3 days or now. Can't get anything done, when you feel like doing NOTHING!

I did notice about 20 buds on my roses.... so my first blooms on that climber will be amazing! That's about all I can make out from the kitchen window! hahaha

Thistlebloom, the orchard area has 4 apple tree (Red Johnaton & Lodi), 3 Peach trees (2 Georgia & 1 Flavor Crest) and 2 Pear (Anjou & Pineapple Asian).

Hubby will be putting in 3 more in the fall if he gets his way... and he probably will! LOL
