We have a few in containers, but a bunch more in raised beds. We had a late frost that hit some of them pretty hard but they seem to be bouncing back for the most part.

We still have some backfilling of the sand bags then to build the garden bed, then it will be planted.

It is flower bed and a lot of the plants are still there and I will just rearrange them.

We has a major storm that knocked the electric out for a few days. The horses took down another section of fence, I started planting the beans, and we are working on an enclosure to get a couple of piggies. I've never raised pigs and am a bit apprehensive about it.

I hope so. They are tasty but I've never been attracted to them as an animal to take care of!

So this morning was spent on fencing. We think it might be the last place that the horses are getting out.

Danger did the really hard work of digging all the holes. I was the gofer and put up the rails.

We did about 70ft.

There horses! Take that!
