Surviving and Thriving

We got the expansion added to the container garden.  We've even added a 4 blackberry plants to it in the ground, not the containers, they seem to be surviving so far.  The best part about the expansion of the container garden is it only cost about 15 bucks.  We had a neighbor who is moving and was giving away some welded wire fencing, I had the t-posts in my metal scrap pile, so we only had to buy I corner post. 

Here is some pics of the garden from this morning.

The expansion is from those bales on the right to the fence at the gate.  We still need to move that pile of sand, but that will go in the bottom of those containers.

Another view.

The regular garden, we put up bird netting around the tomatoes today and Trudy fixed the bird netting around the strawberries.  Today I also got the watering timer installed so in our heat the plants will be happy to be watered at 4:00 in the morning.

Two of the new blackberries we grew these off of our original bush.

The other two.

In these planters are horseradish plants.  They were planted about three weeks ago. They will have to grow two years before we can harvest the root, but we'll always have fresh horseradish for our culinary delight.

That's all the updates for now.
