Photo update on animals, garden, seedlings and hoophouse

Cortney and Brownie, with Tuffy watching ever so closely!
Cortney with both her bum lambs, Brownie and Sonny!
Our chicks, enjoying the grass, bugs and sunshine.
Our progress on the hoop house, actually we did get the siding on the end closest in this photo, today!
We still need to cut the siding to fit the arch and cut the door and window holes.
Self sown chamomile, and let me tell you it is thick and bountiful!
See how big of an area and this is, one of two areas Yeah!
The garlic is up and looks as if we have a 100% germination!
Close up photo of the garlic.
Sorry these next two photos are out of focus, but you can see that it is our asparagus coming through! :o)
I was able to harvest 12-15 spears today. This is only the second season, since I planted the roots. :o)
Rhubarb looks good and had spread even more. I need to move some this fall.
Some of our tomatoes, after we'd transplanted them into new pots. Some looked a bit shocky for a few hours, we just watered them in good and they perked right up.
The rest of our transplanted tomatoes
Our concord grapes after I cut them back.  Praying we get a good crop this season, I didn't cut back them back last season and we got a very small crop.*sigh*

I'll post more photos of our hoophouse progress, ASAP!
Until them we'll most likely be absent for a few days. We're working on cleaning out old flower gardens, herb beds and spreading composted manure on the garden, in prep for tilling and planting out potatoes, onions, lettuce, kale, mustard, radishes, beets and turnips and working on completing the hoophouse. Everything else will wait until beginning of May.
Blessings for your weekend.

Gosh, I do love bum lambs! Your garden is going to be wonderful this year. As to the grapes, yes, they will do much better when cut back severely. You should get a bumper crop this year.

Thanks everyone, we've been working to a frazzle, so won't respond to each of you because it's time to hit the hay!*wink*

Catching up after a few days.

I'm jealous of your garden . . . we're suppose to have 3-6 inches of snow this week. Sigh. I won't be able to put most of our stuff outdoors until near Father's Day. It just gets too cold at night.

And we're in Southern California!

Love your pics. Have a lovely week.
