Work, Work, Work

Yes, we are busier than ever.

We pulled the beets, carrots green, picked and purple beans on Monday, with more beans growing on the bushes. The squash is growing well and we will be digging up the potatoes next week to cure before storing.

I put quite a bit of the beet tops on to dry to make beet leaf powder for soups and etc. I will do the same with the carrot tops. I also use the dried carrot tops instead of parsley. For now the beets and carrots are sitting where they will stay good until we can get then canned up.

Onion tops growing for seed. Potato's dying back beside them.

We have been working on the south ramp that goes over the creek to the garage. Replacing just about everything. This is just a start. New concrete west base and extended side walk going in. All the old boards will be pulled as well and the old 12 foot brace posts will be mostly replaced.

Where he is kneeling will be the new concrete extended side walk. More pics to come. Always more projects on top of the ones that HAVE to be finished before winter.

A future son in law came over a couple of weeks ago and helped with wood. Grand girl and great grands came along as well and mostly had a good time :).
