As you can see we have been anxiously engaged in our gardening project.  We are already harvesting beets, artichokes, strawberries and tomatoes daily.  We are most excited about growing peanuts.  It is a new adventure for us and we have had our trials already, but I am determined to make my own peanut butter this year.   We had to plant the peanuts three times because they kept disappearing.  We came to the conclusion that we had visitors every evening and so we laid traps.  For five consecutive nights we caught five mice.  Who knew?

In addition to our gardens we have added three more fruit trees as well as 3 raspberry, 2 blueberry and 2 blackberry bushes.
