Beginning of Berry Tunnel — 5 varieties of Raspberries (3 canes on each side of pathway) plus 2 varieties of Blackberries (2 canes on each side). I will train them upwards and eventually install a 9’ metal structure to form the tunnel for the berries to attach to.

Those are nice, Spike. We don’t have tulips anymore, and I miss them, even though they are gone in a week

Holy crap, I wasn’t expecting pics so soon! I’m still getting the lawn cut! It’s hard with a push mower!

Anyway, let’s see if I can post pics…

We really don’t have any of the gardens planted or mulched yet, because we have had so much tree removal and lawn repair to do. It never ends.
I’ll put some pics of last year on until we are up and running.

We don’t grow veggies, except some tomato and basil plants, my wife is inflicted with Eye-talianism, and you know how they are with fresh basil…
