Black and bleaux!!!!

That's right- black and bleaux-berries!!! I finally found,purchased and planted my berry bushes.

That's one really good thing about the gulf coast- our growing/planting season is LOOOOONG!

I wanted these in before spring but things just kept interrupting-I was getting worried!

I still have a grapefruit tree to plant to complete our citrus orchard.

Our oranges have been soooo good this year. We pick them right off the tree-pre-chilled and enjoy!

Next on the farm- can I start calling it a farm now?- is to finish the gate on the chicken yard and go get my chickens!!!! I can hardly wait.

Let's see- we have catfish, citrus trees,blackberries,blueberries, chickens(soon) and we are hoping to get a spring garden in also.

Luke would like some rabbits, so that may be in the future too.

I know it sounds like a lot of work, but it is so fulfilling to provide at least a little of what we love to eat. The learning is fun too.

Remind me about that in the middle of summer when I'm tired from the flowers,fish and fertilizing chores!
