Phase 5 our Mid-Summer Updates

Update on the suburban farm!

We have planted all of our vegetables and herbs, finished the chicken and duck runs, finished the fencing around the gardens, and built a "tomato cage" from left over building materials.

                            
Here is our fire pit and grill area.                   This shed we build from FREE wood pallets

                      
This is our wildlife garden and privacy trees.         Here is the deck for the duck pond, they got BIG!

Our 4 hens and 1 roster (so much for pre-sex chicks!)

The coop is almost finished, we will add 2 more windows and then get it painted!


Here are out grapes with their temporary support and out watermelon and pumpkin patch!



Check out the 'tomato cage' we build!



Here is an update on the fish and turtle pond (we also have 2 frogs living with us now!)

Next update on the wildlife and herb garden along the back fence. We have planted evergreens and poplar trees for privacy.


Left on our list to do is
-build 2 compost bins
-organize our wood pile
-finish painting the fencing and chicken coop
-put 2 more windows on the chicken coop
-upgrade the duck pond/deck for a larger pond
