I have these grand notions of turning Scott's yard into a farm with lots of fresh fruits, veggies and maybe a few chickens... and a goat... and a cow... and a big red barn. A girl can dream can't she?
During one of our many talks I was telling Scott how much I wanted to plant berries and peach trees in the future. He came to me a few days later and said that he forgot there were peach trees right on the property line! What?! A dream come true! The trees (3 of them on our side!) needed some TLC so I researched how to prune them and prepare for a great harvest.
The sun finally came out so we spent the afternoon clipping, trimming and even some major limb cutting. Scott also cleared out all of the debris from the ground as the former owner of the property used this area as a burn/junk pile.This was only round 1. There is a lot of work still to do but we got a pretty good start. I can not begin to tell you how excited I am to watch the trees bloom and eat the first peaches of the season!
Apple, peaches, pumpkin pie! Who's not ready just say I...

Those are the exact things Eliza wants in our yard, but I don't think grandpa will go for the cow. I think we are getting chickens this year, next weekend possibly :)
ReplyDeleteI want chickens so bad! The thing is if we come back to Portland for a visit, we don't have anyone to look after them :(
