In the Garden
Plans are moving ahead with the 3 Sister’s Garden, We put down a layer of compost. It is 12 feet by 12 feet big. Then, we placed cardboard over the compost and small wood chips on top of the cardboard.
I think the idea is that the cardboard cuts out the light and then the grass will die and the worms will come up to the surface to feed off the rotting grass and then will come up into the garden this way…we will see…
The weather has been incredibly warm here in north Idaho. I even watered my garden this past week. My kale is making a come back (I had pulled all but 2 plants due to the aphids), the fall lettuce is almost ready to pick and I harvested the most beautiful broccoli last week. I am still picking tomatoes, zucchini and patty pans. There are also cauliflower and cabbage growing (and broccoli!). It looks like it “may” get down to freezing this next weekend…
Beekeeping
This past week, I attended a little workshop at the Troy Library about Beekeeping. This might be a 4-H project for Joshua and I this next year. Margo at the 12 Mile Market said we could have some space to put a couple of bee hives. Click on the picture to visit the 12 Mile Market website:

So, I am going to be checking out a couple of books from the library this fall about beekeeping.
Here is a pic I got of a bee on my oregano…they LOVE oregano…
