You have such a gorgeous property! Beautiful Purple Iris?! Thx for the memory... I had them yrs ago when I was young enough to trowel dig & transplant bulbs:old
Garden Bed 2 still producing cherry tomatoes in its 2nd year & giving the hens a place to snooze under them.
Been pruning down the Dwarf Meyer... harvested 5 dozen lemons yesterday & 2 dozen today w/ over 4 or 5 dozen still hanging on the tree. I never expected a dwarf to be so prolific.
Fowl pox arrives w/ mosquitos here so we don't encourage grass or standing water. We still have 3 Silkies that have not had pox yet. Suzu has had it & has immunity now... but not the 3 newest Silkies.
No grass... no ponds
That is such a neat idea for your property!
In our hot SoCalif climate a pond would be a great mosquito breeding ground! We are forever emptying any accumulated water in pots after rain or the mosquitos can arrive like locusts!
WOW! That's a lot of horses in your lifetime 💕 I'm deathly afraid/respectful of them since one rolled over on the ground while my daughter was in the saddle! We bought the horse but sold it back the very same day!
My daughter was so in love w/ animals there are dozens of childhood pics of her...
