a wider view of the tomato/ basil plantings:


in the distance, where the fence has that seagrass thingy is where we are planting okra after soaking the seed overnight; should do well up against the fence..we added our remaining alpaca manure all over today.

Chicken run pics coming soon.

Eventually tee-pees are going up around the tomato circles..once seedling emerge.

Drip irrigation is also going in soon...hand watering all this will be dumb. It has worked well for us so far this season. But there is truly nothing like weeding while watering with drip through the pump with rain water. Ahh.. summer is finally here!
