Apparently we are Farmers now!

So, Billy has decided that we are going to be farmers. We've always had a garden, and he's always complained that we didn't have enough room. Once we plant all of the plants that vine out there isn't much room left for the things that don't. So this year he got the brilliant idea of building container gardens to go on the other side of our house where I could keep my tomatoes, peppers, onions and other goodies. So now not only do we have our entire garden area planted, we have these dandy little containers to plant! I was able to plant plenty of tomatoes and peppers for the extreme amount of salsa I plan to make this fall!

Not only have we doubled our garden space we have also added a strawberry patch in the back corner of our house! This is the thing I am most excited for, I can't wait to make strawberry freezer jam!

We've also planted a little apple tree. I've always wanted one, but didn't know if I wanted to deal with the apples that drop on the lawn. However, I gave in because I really wanted one! So, hopefully within the next few years we will be over flowing with apples!
Last, but definitely not least, Billy built this little beauty:
This will be the new home for these little guys:
This is the one that I can't believe I allowed. I mean . . . chickens really? Billy has wanted to get chickens forever, but I kept telling him NO WAY! We had one chicken for about a day. Toby loved it, and actually spent the entire night outside laying next to it instead of inside sleeping! However, i just didn't want to deal with chicken poop, and all that jazz. So the chicken went back to his dad's house. Somehow Billy talked me into it this time and he went and got 3 chickens and a Turken (the one in the pic with no neck feather) So, I guess we will have eggs before to long!
So there you have it . . . apparently we are farmers now!
