Morgan at first base with her coach standing beside her....................

Look at Morgans stance - as she gets ready to run from second base!

Morgan at third base, ready to run for a point!

And she's in at home plate!  Way to go, MORGAN!

Morgan's baseball game is a family affair.  Grandpa Paul & Grandma Jackie were there along with Mom (Wendy) & Dad (Jeff) Aunt Jaimie & Uncle Joe.  Grandpa George and I were there, too.  Thank you for inviting us to watch you play!  

Ready to Eat!

Our onions and potatoes are growing by leaps and bounds!

Poly tunnels sure do the trick!

Lettuce is ready to eat!

Cukes that we started from seed are thriving in our Redneck Greenhouse!

Tomatoes - in the Redneck Greenhouse.

Cabbage & spinach.

The herbs and cabbage are starting to thrive, now.

Strawberry plants are starting to show blossoms and fruit....

Look at the baby grass sprouting up everywhere!  Isn't it beautiful?!?!

Growing Onward & Upward!

I moved the chairs into our back yard during the sunny weather.  

I put them inside our back porch during the rain.

George spread grass seed in the bare patches.

Transplanted the strawberries & moved the low voltage lighting in the beds.

Cleaned the river rocks out of the violet patch - so the flowers could grow like weeds!

Seeded patch.  (George removed the broken concrete & put in a wooden step.)

I transplanted oregano, chives, borage and sage from the greenhouse to the terrace.

Cleaning out the old strawberry hill.  There are still a lot of strawberry & thimble berry plants growing on the hill.  (I got tired of fighting with the buttercups.  They were winning!!!  Isn't it strange how weeds imitate the plants they grow near???

Looking at the back yard from the back porch.

This is the river rock garden I cleaned out so the violets can grow freely.  (They remind me of my friend Loretta Selle, who passed away in 2005.  She loved violets.  She even collected china tea cups with violets on it.)

I still need to transplant the chives in the whiskey barrel, so I can plant asparagus in it. 

The wooden step-way that George made to make a break from gravel to grass.  Sweet!

Seeded again!

Cukes growing on the back porch!!!  

Our first tomato plants breaking the potting soil!

Strawberry

George & I have been enjoying the sunshine - working out in the garden.  We've made even more progress!

On the left back - you'll see the remainder of the carport frame that we need to take down from covering our garden stuff over the winter.  We already took the plastic off.  It won't be going up again.  On the left front is a poly tunnel covering carrots, beets and greens.  We use the Redneck Greenhouse for our green peppers & tomatoes.  The top stays up all year round, but the sides come off in July.  On the right are 3 small 4' x 8' poly tunnels covering everything from brocolli, cabbage, kale, potatoes, to onions & lettuce.

Side view of the poly tunnels, compost tea barrel and Redneck Greenhouse.

Herb terrace.  So far there is rosemary, chives, oregano, sage, mint and tarragon.

My $4.00 Weeping Willow Tree!  Bob thought is was a weed!  DO NOT CHOP DOWN, BOB!!!

Back yard before raised strawberry rows.

Garden room - with organized supplies!

Seeds we started - cukes, crook neck squash, egg plant, parsley, tomatoes.....

Raised Strawberry Row on the East side of the back yard.

Facing the Raised Strawberry Rows.  (George & I replanted grass.  If it doesn't grow, we'll get sod.)
