More weekend work

We Typar'd and tar-papered the coop today. We planted our new basswood tree down by the river, 3 new sugar maples on our property line, and a weeping willow on the other corner of our property. Our whole Fedco Trees order is now in the ground, yay! I managed to get some of the old tomatoes raked out of the big garden and got the rest of strawberries planted in the end of the cranberry bed. We're talking about expanding the big garden this year to allow for a multiple year rotation with cover crops to enrich the soil in the off years. If you're going to dream, dream big.

Tar-papering the coop - leftover tar-paper from the roof
and some Typar that Max had in his barn, thanks Max!

Can't you just see this full of low-bush blueberries???

New American Basswood - we can't wait for this to grow up,
their blooms smell heavenly and bees just love them
