This is the lifesaver we have, such a difference it the growth of the garden being able to water when needed.
Well, we are starting a youtube channel. It will be the hubs and only because with the low end equipment I have it is the only way I can share a video when using his phone. I can use mine but sometimes it isn't with me. My tablet takes videos but the color quality isn't great. So, that being said the videos will be coming from various sources. After this video plays you will see others, they are the channels Dick watches. Most are outdoor channels or tiny house living. I love those tiny houses! We have a frame from our Canadian friends camper. You guessed it, we will soon start building a tiny house on wheels for the back property. Watching and gathering is what we have been doing for the last two years. We started buying lumber for it last year. Hoping to start once the garden slows down. For some reason we just can't set still at Cook'n by the Creek. The new addition will be........simple living with a view. Looking at compost toilets and water reserve tanks. Simple living at the finest!
This is what we did early this morning. Finished watering the garden. The new water pump that can be run off the tractor battery is a life saver. Fill the blue barrel and water away. Of course someone has to be the hose handler (me) so it won't drag over the plants. That is a job I "hate", so boring just standing there feeding more hose or pulling it back. Along with the garden we water about 26 young apple trees. All but 9 were started from seed under grow lights in the basement and moved to the green house, then planted with safety tubes around them. All the seeds were from apples I ate during the winter! Seeds were put in a wet paper towel and in the refrigerator until early spring. 9 were given to us by our grandson. It will be interesting to see how they compare in survival and growth. Which ones will dominate?
Depending on what time of the day we water or work in the garden as to the drink of choice. I will let you decide what we drink and when.....I love this place!
Of course good ol' Genesee!
Or fresh ground Jamaican Me Crazy coffee!
Oh baby look what we will be eating soon, yellow summer squash! Dipped in buttermilk, then flour, fry in about an inch of oil, drain and salt and pepper while still hot. Almost a daily lunch here!
Knee high by the 4th of July 🎆
May your Fourth of July be filled with good times, memories of past celebrations and remembering why we are able to celebrate Independence Day! Salute to all that put forth and will continue this legacy for our great USA.
