Planting, Planting, Planting

The boys and I have been hard at work.  Today we planted pole beans, asparagus, herbs, and summer squash.  Still need to plant the corn, cucumbers, and more asparagus.  Have had customers out twice this week to buy stuff.  I worry about how things look, because I can see in my mind's eye how the finished product is supposed to be, but there is still so much left to do to make it the way I want it to be.  We planted about seven new fruit trees this year.  I think I missed most of the blueberry plants, didn't really see any I liked enough.  So we still have our dozen from last year.  This weekend we got all the tomatoes, basil, peppers, and eggplant in the ground. 

Having trouble keeping our free range chickens out of the garden.  They are walking right through our woven wire cattle fence that surrounds the garden.  We keep trying to catch them and put them in the chicken run, but they keep getting out and eating all the brocolli and cauliflower.

Our bees should be here next week.  This is our first attempt at raising bees.  I'm pretty excited about it!
