This years garden

We have revamped this years garden. We took out the big stump that was on the east wall freeing up the space for more strawberry plants. Kristi built a planter space against the east wall last fall and planted raspberry and strawberry starts from our neighbor and friends. We have also cut off two large tree limbs on the elm tree that shadowed the garden last year from the sunlight. By doing this we hope to allow more sunshine in to increase the productivity of the garden and have more plants that will require full sunlight. We have redesigned the garden layout and decreased the amount of tomatoes and pumpkins planted. We planted more corn in a new location in the garden to allow them to receive the most sunlight without shadowing the other plants. We are growing more vegetables that can be frozen for future use, now that we have a large freezer to store the produce in. It should be a great year if we can tame the weeds and keep the chickens from eating the plants before they fully grow..
