The cold frame we built has produced a great crop of lettuce.

We have as many strawberries as we can eat this year!

The peaches are looking good!

We added 5 new blueberry plants because we never get enough blueberries.

The cabbages and brussels sprouts are really growing well this year.

The whole garden is looking good!

Phase 1 of the sweetcorn for 2016.  Should be ready near the end of June.

The Clematis has never looked this good.

Jim parked his Mustangs next to each other for Labor Day.

Shelly's new hobby - hydroponic gardening.  The lettuce is so small you can barely see it!

Phase 2 of our solar panel project is now complete.  We should make all of the electricity we need with the addition of the new panels.

Fall spinach - a great crop this year!

We canned 7 jars of grape juice and 8 jars of grape jelly from this year's crop.

Our big announcement - the construction on the inside of the house is complete!!!!!
