Wow, it is all very beautiful Potter. Looks like you will be having fun. I'm glad somebody gets to have a dream property.

You will have a blast making this property your own. If it were me, I'd use the planting table thing as a raised bed for lettuce.

There is so much potential. Lucky you, you can have everything! Herb garden, rose garden, veggie garden, orchard, asparagus bed, etc. etc. pond?

What a beautiful place you have, Potter! You can tell a master gardener had lived there. I love all the defined spaces and landscaping that was done. I'm sure you'll have some weeding and stuff to do, but I can't wait to see it all filled in during the growing season. Thanks for the tour!

Thing are growing well in the greenhouse. I've never had so much space to start seedlings where they are nice and protected. Well... protected from most things. Something has gotten in there in the past week and rummaged through my spinach flat and eaten a lot of those seeds. When I went out this morning, I found that yesterday or last night, something went through and found the few pumpkin and zucchini seeds that didn't sprout and ate them. It didn't bother anything that is growing, just unsprouted seeds (though it completely left the Lima beans alone even though they haven't sprouted yet). Other than that, everything is going well!

This is mostly just for me to keep track of some garden stuff this year. I have a some stuff started in my greenhouse and other things waiting to be planted when I can put seeds in the ground. My husband bought a few different kinds of corn but I will probably only plant two of them this year (blue jade and country gentleman). I dialed back on the tomato varieties this year from what I normally plant. Mainly because I will have a larger garden than I've had before and I don't want to stress myself out too much. This is also my first year in Virginia and I am still getting used to the differences.
