Moving!

It looks like the moving is official.  We'll be moving by the end of October or November.  The new space has lots of gardening and chicken room and already has 4 or 6 raised beds built in!  We'll be able to build a new chicken run first so that the chickens will be easier to move I think that's the only thing I'm worried about. It was so much work building the first one! I guess that means we should be really good at building the 2nd one right?!? lol

There's a lot of planning to be done but we're going to try to move as much of the soil and plants as we can and hopefully the peach and plum tree too!  This is going to be an adventure! Good thing I love adventures ;)

The garden is growing and growing and growing....we have a squash plant that I swear is 2' tall and 3' around.  Amazing.  With help from our NGP I was able to water the beds today on my crutches.  This weekend is going to be lots of work outside, cutting down knotweed and weeding beds, things have been getting overgrown in my 3 weeks of sitting about.  I'm getting much more mobile on my crutches and can even put a small amount of weight on my foot and move it quite a bit. I'm really looking forward to walking on my own again!

I love this point in the garden, the only thing I'm really worried about at all is the knotweed, everything else, with a little water, takes care of itself.  Now it's just a matter of waiting for all of the delicious harvest!
