Gardens

One of our favorite activities is gardening. We have extensive vegetable plots (both raised bed and traditional) as well as numerous fruit trees and berries. Examples of our plots are seen here:




















The first picture is a traditional plot containing several cold weather crops
(kale and various types of cabbages).



We also have many different types of pears, apples, cherries and Asian pears. Other fruits include raspberries, blackberries and grapes .




Shown here is another traditional bed containing celery, sweet corn and other crops.





Shown here is one of our raised beds which are ideal to get started with given the rather poor soil found on some parts of the farm.
