Pictures From our Tiny but Happy Homestead

I can't paint, so I Photoshop.
The big squash plant in the back, is in the middle compost pile.
Henna and Alpha. See how much smaller Alpha is?
I still need to paint that board!
She is a sweet little thing. She could see if she got her hair cut!
Last night I went out and took a bunch of pictures to share with you.
Today I went and found 6 plants for $2.10. 2 tomato plants, 3 Oregano, 1 pretty yellow Marigold, and a healthy looking Impatien.
I thought the Oregano was almost worth the dime I paid for each of them but after a good watering they don't look half bad.


There were beetles eating our peaches!

Who says chickens aren't cute? Look at that face!
Purple Iris seed pods? What do I do with this?


Rosemary
Purple sage


Comfrey

Joy Joy's carrots and pepper plant.


Bad baby squash bug. :-(  I squashed him.

The damage done by the squash bugs. :-(

Compost pile surprise! What do you think it is?
Why add Gerber daisies to my garden? Because they make me happy!
Flowers also attract pollinators,
 but I plant them because they are pretty.

Can you feel the love? I didn't even have to tell them to pose and be cute.
It just happened!
