It was me neighbor that pointed out my boysenberry tree to me a couple months ago. I hadn't even realized it was there! I had thought it a weed tree and as such tried to kill it repeatedly... and obviously, unsuccessfully. Now I'm very glad for yesterday afternoon I harvested a large handful of the tasty berries from it. I honestly like them very much. They aren't as sweet as most berries, and for me that is a great advantage of them.
Owing to a small catastrophe, we have just 7 baby geese remaining. All of whom are growing large and appear healthy. They now have a large corner of the yard sectioned off for their own personal use and grazing. The ducks and chicks are also growing well, it won't be long now until they are ready for harvesting or being added to the layer flock.
The garden is coming along very nicely. Though some more intense weeding will need to be done very soon. Everything has sprouted to some degree. Though the amount of rain we've been getting recently has not been entirely helpful. Only one set of watermelon seeds sprouted and the cantaloupe plants are nearly lost. I still need to work the raised garden bed, plant the flower border, get the trees planted, and figure out what to do with some of my herb pots.
