Yum, ribs!

Oven baked ribs

Got a nice garden going this year

Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, basil, and more.

I’ve always wanted to have room for a nice sized garden. When we had some of the pasture fence redone this spring we fenced a specific area for a vegetable garden. Turned out to be a bit over 40×20, just the right size to give everything room to grow.

It was a lot of work and took longer to get ready than I thought it would but I’m happy with the way it turned out. I hope it doesn’t turn into a buffet for the local rabbit population!
