So, while the rest of Alaska headed to the highways this Memorial Weekend, we stayed put, enjoying the georgous, sunny weather from the comfort of our own backyard. As in past years, this is the weekend we work on the yard and plant our garden. And we did just that! Liz finished building her arbor in the front yard that she started with her dad, and Scott went to town on the back yard tearing down one bed and building an even larger one on the other side of the yard to accommodate his wife's growing love of seeing things grow. Among the usual lettuces, chards, zucchinis, squash, kohlrabi, peas, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, and radishes, we're trying our hand at brussel sprouts, tomatoes, cucumbers, pole beans, arugula, celeriac, parsnips, a myriad of fun flowers and sweet peas, and, of course, Scott's beloved corn! Fun times around the Luber Farm... We already have more rhubarb than one family can eat, raspberries that are about to start producing, Liz's experimental bulbs planted last fall are coming up all over, and our apple trees are looking healthier than they have in years! *Sigh* We just love this time of year......
The pictures you see are of Liz's arbor, the spot where the old garden bed was, the new bed!, our new "pea wall" against the side of the barn (since our not-so-neighborly neighbors put up a second fence that blocks the sun where we used to grow our peas), and our new little lattice for pole beans.
