First off, here are some pictures of the building we call the chicken coop.  It’s in rough shape as you can tell from the pictures.  Basically, the entire back of it is shot.  And our roofing is basically a tarp that is probably on it’s last year.  This is the year that I need to cleanup and fix our other barn so that I can move most everything out of this…  It’s all a bit daunting as I have less time than I ever had.  Still, what needs to be done, needs to be done.

Ah…now on to the scenery.  Everything’s still quite brown out there, but I expect to see a LOT more green within a week. In these pics, you can see one of the old farm cars. The second picture is looking north along the farm road into the neighbor’s field.  The last picture shows you why we have a no vehicles policy on the road at this time of year.  Strictly hoofing it!

And on to the blueberry row.  I’ve told myself I’m being more aggressive this year with pruning, and I am trying to take anything too tall to reach out of the picture.  I figure it will be another 2 years before I really have things the way I want them.  The second pic shows you what we’re up against.

And finally, garlic!  It’s impossible to make out in the first picture, but they’re popping up all along the row!!!  2nd picture is a better focused pic of a shoot.  And lastly…I took a picture of the Jerusalem Artichokes that I dug up for dinner!  Yum.
