Our little homestead, and, we love it!!
I thought I would share with you all some pictures of around our homestead taken in the last few days or so. I hope you enjoy them. It is amazing how much the garden changes in just a week or so.
Here is our Rhubarb patch...I cut some down already, and, I need to do more, or, find someone who likes rhubard.

Here is our horseradish patch. Hubby actually has some more growing in two other places, so, we actually have more than this, which, is really more than a normal family can consume.
Our black raspberry bushes. If I could only get enough off to make a pie, I would love it, but, everytime I send the children out to pick they only come back with a small bowl full, so, I let them just eat them.

We have three blueberry bushes, and, they are full this year. Our children also, work for a few weeks picking blueberries, and, they are able to pick a 4 qt. bucket full each day to take home, if they want for free...which is a real blessing!
We also have 5 apple trees, that have never done extremely well, but, this year hubby has both sprayed, and, pruned, and, the trees are full, so, we are hoping for a good harvest.
We also have this one big cherry tree...we are not exactly sure what the name is but, the cherry is yellow with some red on it, and, they taste wonderful, but, more years than not, they have come on so good, but, start turning brown, before they are ready to pick.
We also have 3 pear trees, two are young ones, and, one is an older tree that was here when we moved here. We have actually never gotten a great harvest of pears yet, but, we do hope to some day.
This is our only peach tree. It is still small, and, only has a handful of peaches this year.
Here is a picture of our garden. It actually already looks alot different already, and, I just took the picture 5 days ago.
Well, I need to get off here, and, get my laundry on the line, and, head out to pick some strawberries.
Hope you all have a wonderful day filled with the Lord's blessings!
Lots of Love,
Marsha
