Hope
The first sign of a home grown toe-mater!
This is one of the three- squares Clay built out of felled logs. Their kinda cute and kinda hickish.
This is one of the sweet planters I bought for my sister that she took one look at and nearly barfed. So ugly did she think it was that I quickly put it back in my van and brought it home and put flowers in it and told it I thought it was pretty and it believed me. My chickens have been telling it how much they like it too.
I bought three hanging baskets from an old lady that has a stand by the side of the road. Her family has been farming for 81 years. Everytime I look out the window and see these beauties I smile a little.
Here's my hillbilly garden. Watching it grow gives me hope. Hope that tomorrow it will be bigger, hope that I'll harvest its fruits and taste the goodness.

I love the tomatoes!
April - I loved the planters! It was they, who did not love me. They loved you and wanted you and I could not live with the rejection so I let them go.
I ran across your blog by accident but I have loved reading it. I also have four children (grown) and now 3 1/2 grandchildren....love on a small farm in Oregon with what do you know.......chickens. I love the garden beds...looks like something my hubby would build. You must not have a deer problem. We do and have to build fences or some such to keep the darn things from wiping everything out. You make me laugh each day.
I can't believe your tomato plants! Here in Michigan, my seedings are still just barely up over their starting pots. I may go cry. We've got a 4 square box in the front yard (in the city) for summer veggies, which makes my husband so horrified - because this is just something that is not done here in perfectly green, fertalizer-fortified, all-hail-grass land.
Garden looks great April! I love the beds, Recyled is always the best when you can get it! I have no felled trees to use or I would too. :(
P.S. how's the burn coming along?
