Water, water, everywhere…or how to get it there
When water is available but far removed from the growing sites it is useful to have a convenient way of extending the source to accommodate the location of those sites.
Standard garden hoses, while useful, have presented some logistical problems. Until the water line was extended, I had to use three or four 100’ hoses to get where I wanted to go. The water pressure I have is rather high and has a tendency to blow hoses out, even the ...

Here are a few of the flowers in my garden:
I grew a bunch of beautiful sunflowers by complete accident…There were some left-over seeds from the chickie feed in our compost which we spread on the potato garden and we ended up with a beautiful sunflower garden.
Crocus are one of my favourite flowers…they introduce spring.
Bright orange lilies shure light up a dark corner of the garden.
Not a flower but just as bright is my Coral Reef Sedum growing in my ...

Fruit Bushes (Thus Far)
Red Currant: Two bushes. One bush was here when we moved in over 25 years ago. It is huge and is covered in berries each year. The second bush is about 5 years old and also provides a lot of fruit. We’ve never done much with these bushes except prop up the branches.
Raspberries: We have two rows of canes, both planted about 3 years ago. Last year we had an abundance of fruit in the fall as well.
Rhubarb: not a bush but since it com...

Fruit & Nut Trees (Thus Far)
Apple: dwarf apple tree. “Deb…” something or other. Purchased because of the name. VERY delicious apple. Last year Rick did a big pruning job on it and it was...
