It took a helluva lot more work, all of it by hand, to double our cultivated area, but with a berry patch - 2 blueberry varietals, 2 raspberry varietals, thornless blackberry & strawberry - now established, all that’s in the rear view and the future looks bright … and bountiful.

Morning in the kitchen window reveals the previous night’s kitchen garden planning (“augmented” with Gr. 6 homework & Wordle solutioning 😉) and our flower starts greeting the day from their little greenhut … ❤️☀️🌺 https://t.co/XVpdRGcQCG
