Oh. Uh. Hey again.
I really don't know what to say. Wow. It's been a while. Ya, so.. I mean.
How have you been?
I'm good too. Just had surgery on my stomach so I'm off for a few weeks.
No. Nothing serious.
I'll be fine.

Well, ya. I know. Right at gardening time. First weekend the centres open with new plants and I can't do anything.
Well much anyway. Yet.
Well, I can show you how its going this year at least.
The Garden in 2012! Click to Enlarge.










It's been an early growing season. The Garlic Onions have been edible since April.The rock pond, Jacobs Lader and Ben Cross Black Current are all doing well. I even planted a couple bunches of left-over Green Onion and it has started to produce!

The hops are all growing nearly an inch a day.


Fugle, Cascade, Willamette and Brewers Gold. I think I'll get another 2 strains to replace the two that didn't grow last year.
Here's the wheat Garden...
 
It's got some green 'grass-like shoots popping up!

Another good mention is the rose bush beside the house is leafing it up lately.
  • Goji Berry is starting to leaf.
  • Both Cherries have leaves
  • All 3 apple survived! 1 barely.
  • Raspberries... 1 yes, 1 I hope.
  • Rhubarb is huge and growing larger.
  • Both Lilacs are good. Should flower soon.
  • Generally all of the perenials survived.
I'd like to get another couple fruit bushes. Build a cheap Greenhouse with poly sheeting. Extend the shed. Build a Pizza oven and a fruit press.
