Spring is coming

Here are a few things going on around the homestead as we prepare for Spring!

This is our original elderberry bush that I planted 2 years ago. It has already propagated
The girls and I planted an elderberry patch. We cut down an azalea and added new cuttings from the side of the road. This is where our washing machine drains and elderberry loves water!
A new persimmon that we were given by the local master gardeners!
We also planted elderberry around one of the ponds
The second elderberry around the pond
A newer satsuma tree
We have planted figs along the front fence to privacy and more figs. Each of our fig trees came from our Mama fig tree that we think is at least 30 years old
Adam and the boys built a chicken run for a few chickens to help us weed different garden beds. Zeb is installing the feeder in the picture
I ordered 8 flats of strawberries. We ate 4 flats and we froze 4 flats
Madelynn fell asleep by the fire one night as we were listening to Fellowship of the Ring
We made pork-rabbit-squirrel burgers and they were so delicious!
Strawberry french toast casserole
Zeb climbing the pindo palm as we listened to Fellowship of the Ring around the pond one evening
Graham uses the jigsaw to build wooden guns for play.
A few rabbits have been upgraded to a chicekn tractor. Although 4 of these rabbits were used for the burgers
Madelynn loves her dogs
Adam had a helper checking the hives
They look great!
Looks like its time to add the supers!
Look close: you might see two monkeys
