Awesome, thank you!

So it's been almost a month. The weather is nicer, and work has been hectic so after looking at a computer for 8 to 12 hours a day I've been avoid screen time at home when possible.

The seedlings are trucking along, and we put the herbs in dirt a few weeks ago. I found a guy with a decent price on white cedar for the raised beds so that should arrive next weekend. Expect a construction post in the near future. After construction I will bring the dirt in, so in a couple of weeks we should be transferring things outside. Last frost is tomorrow, so we are not that far behind.

In addition to just a general cleanup of the yard this weekend we got our hands on a male and female hardy kiwi vine. We are trying to work more edible perennials into what space we have and I am very happy to have these vines. They are apparently reliable growers and typically put up 50 to 100 pounds of fruit a season once mature.

I have high hopes for these loves birds. I tossed together a quick trellace with some spare wood I have kicking around so now all they have to do is grow.

I am very exicted about the kiwis and I really hope they do well.

Last year's chives have been thriving and can be seen in the foreground bottom right. The tulips went off this year big time, soon they are going to be taking over.

Onwards and upwards ladies and gentlemen!
