Blueberries are already ripening in the greenhouse!

The greenhouse fruit has already set while only two outdoor bushes have flowers.

Jacy is making a trellis for the kiwis

She's lashing together fruit tree prunings to bamboo. We'll hang two of these from the rafters of the greehouse.

Look at that beautiful brisket

The pigs in a mud wallow

It's hot out there!

Photo of the brisket smoker hard at work

This is a New Braunfels smoker. I think its made in Texas. We got it off Craigslist last year. It has a valve for propane but we've never used it. We could use a wood chipper. As of now I break apart the fruit prunings by hand.
