Here's some of what I've been up to lately. Reposted form /diy/ and edited to be under 2,000 characters.
Upper 10 images.
1: Bushel gourd plant volunteers.
2: My ducks.
3: The chicken coop I had moved here 2 days ago. It needs a few nails here and there, but is solid as a rock.
4: A golden sebright bantam came with the coop.
5: Bantam chicken tractor.
6: Temporary chicken tractor.
7: Pineapple plants.
8: One of my blueberry bushes.
9: My big cock.
10: 1 of 8 raised beds. It is filled yard clippings and chicken manure. The grass clippings were 3 feet above the tops and have compacted down. It'll be ready next season for planting.
Lower 10 images.
1 & 2: My main blackberry rows; 6 rows, all 70 feet long. I use these to make blackberry mead, jams, & jellies.
3: Yukon gold potatoes in one garden. Except for strawberries, the rest of this garden (3/5th of it) is dedicated to growing flint corn & popcorn.
4: Same garden, showing tons of volunteer gourds.
5: One of many hives I have. Only 3 survived this winter. This is where I get my honey for the blackberry mead.
6: I did some mowing today. Here's 1.5 hours worth of work and it isn't even 1/4th of the amount I'll get from mowing the lawn this week. It'll be used to fill the next raised bed.
7: Another of my gardens. This shows hundreds of volunteer tomatillos that have come up every year on their own for the past...5 years. lol Icicle radishes also volunteer as easily.
8: Random plants, broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots, volunteer potatoes, and a tomato all in this pic.
9: Raised bed dedicated to brand new strawberry plants. There are 3-4 varieties in there. It is intended to have strawberries coming on and ripening all through the year; dependent on the type of strawberry.
10: Partial pic of one of my grape vines. I pruned it heavily last spring and let it grow properly then pruned it heavily this spring and the amount of grapes bunches it has now has quintupled since last year.
