It is officially canning season at the Holstein House. Mr. Holstein, his mom, his aunt, and I went to Morgan Orchard to pick fruit. Several variety of apples, and peaches were ready. Blackberries were plentiful with more to come.

I just came in from the pallet garden. I got a bit of a late start this year, but not all of my plants did. I have a couple volunteer plants fighting for the right to grow.
I have tinkered around with garden options for a few years now. I tried container gardens, with mixed results. Last year I built a raised-bed, pallet, square-foot garden. This year I am trying something different with my tomato cages.
Be honest, now. Aren’t you glad spring is finally here? Today is my first real day of yardwork in 2015.
