May has arrived! Am I ready? Not really. This is such a busy month and I have been sick all week. I have a rotten cold that has settled in my lungs. I can't get enough air to do the things that need done. Earlier this week, when I wasn't quite as sick as I am now, I did manage to get 2 of the 5 or 6 stumps dug out in the yard. This place was definitely a fixer-upper when Lyn bought it and it has taken A LOT of work to get it to where it is today. There is still more to do, of course, and we are hoping to have a decent lawn this year.
One of the infrastructure items that Lyn has been working on this week are new high tunnels. For those of you who don't know what a high tunnel is, it is an unheated greenhouse. We have one full of strawberries already. The others will be filled with vegetables as insurance against any possible hail or pest damage to the garden. The frame will probably go up this week. Plants will go in sometime in the next 2 weeks. Which is great because I have tomato and pepper plants that are yelling at me every day to get them in the ground. They have the most annoying voices at 5 in the morning! :)
I leave you this week with a picture of our strawberry tunnel.
Happy May!
