It's June and we have added another super, a honey super, to hour bee hive and the hive is thriving.
We have completed, except for the covering, a 12 X 16 greenhouse, which we built for about 1/3 the cost of a commercial kit and expect it to give us a "jump-start" on our spring garden and to offer protection to Jill's plants and flowers during the winter months. Jill can move from her cramped, small, and dark potting shed to the greenhouse to pot her plants and flowers. She plans to landscape around the greenhouse with flowers and rock scapes and yard sculptures, of various kinds.
We have added another load (19 tons) of crusher run gravel to the driveway - an 800 foot drive way and the county E911 service has renamed our driveway Powers Lane. Good, it is a name I can remember.
The garden is producing as expected. The compost bin is serving us, and our garden, well and the plants are very healthy. We have already gotten squash and raspberries from the garden and the carrots will be ready in another week.
