Last Saturday we got the last of the crops in(I use the word “crops” very loosely)
Since we are having cold nights now I brought in the onions, we grew about a bushel of onion, enough to last us the winter. I will store them in a bushel basket in the root cellar (ahem, basement, there is a post coming up about my “cellar”)
We are onion eaters, typically I will slice up 3 or 4 onions to go with a beef roast, my kids love the slow cooked onions, so I am happy to have such a big harvest.
Dadzoo spent all day building me a “fence” along the north side of our “property” (hehe, yard)
We are planning to plant raspberries and blackberries along the “fence” to create privacy and another source of food.
(you gotta love that dead grass that constitutes our neighbors landscaping! ugh!)
(another reason for some privacy so I don’t have to look at that!)
Two weeks ago I did a big post about something that Dadzoo was building on the South side of our “property”. All those of you who guessed a grape arbor were correct. I am excited to see how it is going to fill in the next few years.
Aimee, I hope you know I live vicariously through you… and someday… when I grow up… I wanna be just like you!!!!
Your onions look really good!
I just love how you are doing so much with your yard. My mom does a lot with a very small yard and container gardening.
I wish I had your guts! I'll be doing a garden this year, but I'm afraid to dig up my yard. The lady before us had a beautiful flower garden out there. So far it's looking like our veggie garden will be ~50 sq ft next spring. I'm hopeful it'll look half as good as yours :o)
we are thinking of raspberries and blueberries next year..we have a chain link fence between our yard and the neighbor and it's an unsightly thing that could really benefit from some berry bushes..it's also where i tie up my tomatoes so i don't have to use a bunch of cages…
I am so excited for you to do your grape arbor!!! That is more than exciting! You know me and my grape juice, you so inspire…
