Orchard & Garden & Berries.
sometimes the wild fruits & berries, too!
We're big on 'recycling' or using what's available around here. the cedar slabs for the bbq grill are from the big cedar tree that was in front of the house, but uprooted during a spring storm with high winds. we cut it up, and used it for different projects around the farm. we also used small cedar logs in setting up our raised beds for the garden & berries. I have a few more like projects for the guys this fall, including more raised beds!
On this page is pictures of the variety of fruits, veggies and berries on and around our farm. in the past couple years we've been putting in fruit trees. this Spring, we planted more fruit trees & a variety of blueberries and raspberries. Next Spring I hope to have strawberries as well as some cherry trees planted. We have Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp Apples. Elberta Peaches. Bosc, Bartlett Pears and a Nectarine. growing wild, which we also harvest and eat, are; gooseberries, blackberries and persimmon trees. makes for good healthy eating. we use no chemicals on our home-grown fruit, veggies & berries. which is also helped by our honey bees. since we're in fall of '11, we have some cabbage, rutebaga, turnip, radishes and califlower planted for fresh fall vegetables. I also have herbs, some in pots, to bring indoors this winter. Rosemary, Thyme, Marjoram, Oregano, Cilantro & Bay Leaf. We'll see how I do over winter with herbs indoors.
