Happy Cinco de Mayo!  Hope you all have something fun planned.  We’ll be off to a Kentucky Derby Party later today that should be a great time.  And don’t forget to check out the Super Moon tonight.  This last month our focus has been on getting the garden going.  Brian’s built two raised beds to expand our growing area and built a mini greenhouse covering for one.  It’s set up with a temperature probe that we can monitor in the house so when it was getting really cold last week we could pull the seedlings inside before the cold got them.  We have lettuce, radishes, onions, cabbage, beets and  carrots growing.  And we  have several varieties of potatoes to plant later on when we get warmed up a bit more.  We also added 10 blueberry bushes in 3 different varieties to the yard which will take a few years to get any production from.
