Starting over from pretty much Ground Zero at my new farm, these days.

So far we have added raspberries, currant bushes (red & black), asparagus and grapes. We’re keeping all of the ‘perennial’ fruits and veggies in one spot. Beau already has a nice patch of Rhubarb - dark red - which is awesome for cooking. So far, Rhubarb Custard Pie and Rhubarb Sauce over Vanilla Ice Cream. *DROOL* Muffins and breads to come!

I have three raised beds and an in-ground tilled area about 20’ x 20’ to use this season while I plan the bigger gardens and update the landscaping around the house.

In some ways, I’m pretty excited. In others, I’m feeling too old for this, LOL!

I made the mistake of showing Beau an article on these folks in Canada that make $75K off of a 1/4 acre selling herbs and greens to local restaurants. He said, ‘Hell, Yeah! I’ll give you a whole ACRE, Darlin’! You can bring in $300K!’

Oy! :)

LOL. Yep the almighty dollar speaks! It is always exciting starting something new, and often daunting at the same time. How far away from your previous place are you?
