Garden update...
For the very first time... I am growing Kale! Russian Red Kale is the seed type. I've come to really enjoy Kale in my green smoothies... and in soups too.
I had to reseed some of my Kale squares as the duckies go to them before I put up my garden fence.
I have a whole 4x8 bed of various types of pepper plants... from hot to sweet. They're about 5" tall so far.
And my strawberry plants are producing nicely! I have 3 boxes of strawberry plants this year. My bigger box contains plants that are about 3 years old. My two smaller boxes were planted this year with plants generously provided to me by a neighbor.
And here's my bench that I purchased way back in 2004. It was looking a little shabby, so I painted it. Some of the wood will need to be replaced... maybe next year. I painted it Pacific Pine... the same color as my front door.
Now to get my boys to help me put it in the fenced in garden!
