My little Farm

I started with 2, 4 x 12 raised beds last year. This year, the dogs seemed to be more interested helping me out with "farming" so my husband installed a wire fence around my designated "farm" area of our lot. I planted 12 wisteria around the fence to cover it up and added 3 more 4x4 raised beds and got a gable house shed for mother's day:)

    What a nice area you have now for your garden. Somehow, I don't think he'll miss that space; you've a good amount of acreage. Here that amount of land is called a county. 8-) What a wonderful homestead you have. Good luck with your garden expansion. Did the new shed come with stereo?

    "little farm"? Looks pretty good size to me. And it looks great. Happy planting.

    What a great setup you have, Cindy. I thought you could cover the earth with 12 wisteria!

    haha I'm making 2 of the wisteria into a "tree" by the entrance and the rest to cover up the fence. I promised myself to train them properly! :)

    How large is the "little" farm? I assume you water your land with a well. That is a beautiful setting.

    "Farm" is a small part of our 1.3 acre of land. We have 12 stations of sprinkler around our lot, but my raised gardens have a soaker hose and yes, we do have a well. I'll check next time the farm big is the farm.
