Garden update

Ok I'm not going to write a big long, detailed update for this post. This is mostly for me, to compare who the yard has changed, grown and improved from last month or last year
This is the front. This has been a labor of love, big time! I had a vision of this space from day one and there have been so many times that I see it and I'm so happy how it's all turned out. 

The raspberries are slowly turning for fall, I need to go out there and cut all this new growth for tea! We made a deer proof fence/barrier because the stinking deer were eating everything! I found it on pinterest, it's just T-posts on all 4 corners and 30 lb fishing line, pulled and strung tight around the garden, the deer can't see it and when they walk into it, it startles and confuses them and they run away, I have seen it work!

Strawberries and red table grapes to the left. 

I picked our first cabbage! This was a big deal, every year cabbage months destroy them, but this year I covered the plants, and used a garlic and essential oil spray and they left them all alone! Yeah for organic recipes and barrier cloth. 

Rapunzels tower, oh wait, that's just Mullen.



The back garden. 



The side yard, the honeysuckle that is now 3 years old is huge and doing their job like a Boss! You can barely see the neighbors house and it's wonderful!

This little flower bed is right in front of the main chicken yard, and we have really had fun trying new flowers and adding some cold season kale, and rose cabbages in there.
