The layout of the vegetable garden is complete and this year I was able to plant a 40' row of asparagus, a 40' row of raspberries, a 40' row of blueberries to the east of the vegetable garden and a 30' row of honeyberries to the south and running perpendicular to the aforementioned.

Further to the east of that, i have plots ready for fruit trees which I hope to start planting next year.
