Potatoes and Peas
This bad boy is what we use to make rows for planting. You can also get an idea of the size of our garden from this picture.
Another angle... Cool thing about this "machine" (however you call it in English lol) is that, depending on the angle and pressure, you can decide how deep the rows will be.
This blade part was made by my brother. I swear he can make anything with his two hands, some tools and materials.
Those sticks in the ground are raspberries. Strawberries are also not on the picture. As you can tell, we still have quite bit of land to work on.
These was a few crates and buckets filled with potatoes, here are some
Almost ready
This is what is looks like
This is the only photo of peas planting I took. These rows were made with a hoe and even though you cannot really see peas, I promise they are there, haha.

Checking on the fruits, doing well so far
Just about to bloom
Giving our rooster some grass. I feed him separately from the chickens because they bully him so I'm always there while he's eating. He had some legs deformation that caused him to wobble while walking and he was always behind on the growth. These couple of months he is doing a lot better but I still protect him. :)
I couldn't be happier that the garden work started! We do this every year but now, in these times of isolation because of corona, it is an amazing distraction. Me and my family are staying at home, in our yard and garden, I'm the one who goes to the store when needed and my brother is still working but that's it. Gardening can be quite therapeutic in general and we are so happy and grateful that we can spend our days like this during these challenging times. I hope you're doing well, stay safe, this too shall pass!
Crikey you really are doing a lot of planting, impressive.
Love that you protect your bullied rooster. Poor thing!
Thanks, we are trying to use up all the available space we have. It is a lot of work and last year we had one really bad ice storm that destroyed a lot of fruits and veggies (some recovered, some didn't) so all I'm hoping for is the weather to be a little bit more gentle, lol.
Yeah, he was always hiding and the last one to eat so I took upon myself to make sure he can eat in peace when I feed them. He's getting along with the chickens a lot better lately. :)
Thanks for stopping by!
