Giant Plants









Ken told Janet how tall the raspberry plants are this year so here they are the tall one are the new plant that will produce berries next year they are at least 7 feet tall. To bad I will have to cut them back this fall. I have picked 3 gallons of berries now. Today was the most, I got one gallon. I can't get over how big the berries are, they are HUGE. I'm sure it is because of all the water Ken gives them. He can't wait until I start making jam, right now I am just freezing them. Anyone that wants start can get them next spring, if you are afraid of the weather in Eastern Idaho don't worry I got these plants from my neighbor and she got her start from her parents that live in Rire. Did you like that genealogy record of the raspberries?

Meet the girls there are 8 of them.





















This is the beginning of the chicken coop. You know Ken wanted to be be able to stand up inside and have lots of room for his chickens.





As we finished it it became a chicken coop that could be a two story condo.

What we have been doing in the summer time

I picked my first raspberries today they were so good. I got about 2 cups. We went to Ann Morrison Park for the 4th of July, it was a good time. Shane, Christine and Izzy went with us and we took a picnic for lunch and dinner. We got there at about 2:00 and stayed until the after the fireworks they were wonderful. We got home around 11:30.
Janet I can't get into your blog it says I need an invite, just wanted to let you know. We are missing everyone and enjoy the pictures I can't believe how quick everyone grows. Looking forward to seeing everyone in eastern Idaho in Aug. We have planted 24 tomato plants in the front yard this year, and have two trellises for the green beans, so I will be very busy later.
