Garden

Here you can see John's very inventive raised-bed garden enclosed in chicken-wire to keep out the critters, both wild and domestic (particularly our own critters). The chicken-wire raises up in three separate panels to allow access to the beds. In the fall and spring, we can cover this structure with plastic to creat a "hoop-house."  A hoop-house is kind of like a greenhouse and the plastic will trap heat in the colder months and keep the garden beds (and of course the plants in them) warmer. 

What's in those beds you may wonder? Well, most of the usual suspects: tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, kale, brussels sprouts, basil, lettuce, leeks, green onions, oregano, and thyme. Hopefully we will have a bountiful harvest come late August,
so stop on by!
