Our son....helping us set up the pergola this week. He decided to jump in the wheel barrow...and just play. Thanks for reminding us to play bud!!!! You can see the pergola below. Slowly developing this area into a nice relaxing hearth area of the garden...where we can all enjoy the sights...sounds ..and smells together. A sensory garden!!!

This hummingbird....sat still at the very top of a large pine tree overlooking the food forest. I zoomed in to catch it. Sorry for the blur. It just blew my mind...it chose that spot. :)

VERY impressive!!! Are you a full-time gardener?

thank you so much!!!!!!!! i'm a full time daddy...and part time gardener. ;)

Well maybe when your child gets older you can get a crew going. ;) lol

Do you use @dustsweeper?

Thanks. Hopefully this next month is even better. I am optimistic. Hopefully I don't make any serious mistakes and nothing goes too wrong. lol I also have some blog posts about the earnings threshold. The I got robbed might be a good one to read. I think we need better help and training on this platform.

lol...cheers to that!!!!!! hmmm...i'm checking it out now. looks awesome! i noticed estabond...came in an upvoted your comment. nice! i'll probably sign up! i'll sniff it out a little more. good ROI? thanks!!!!!!!!! i love this blockchain!!!!!!!!!

@estabond is a bot. I like upvoting myself but my solo upvotes don't count so I use various bots. There is a .02 earnings threshold so if I upvote your reply I am basically wasting my upvote unless you use a bot.
It's pretty complicated for me to try and figure out the ROI on @dustsweeper but if you have a .01 cent upvote I think it would be pretty good because otherwise that upvote would be completely wasted.

sweet. that makes sense. just read all i could on it. i'll send in some SBD soon and give it a whirl. https://steemit.com/community/@dustsweeper/ann-introducing-dustsweeper-a-new-service-to-turn-dust-into-profit

Yeah let me know when you do. Doesn't look like you have any to send them right now. lol Thanks for the upvotes.

sweet!!! sure will! i get paid from the brandonfrye bot later today. i delegate to his bot. i'll send some over then. ;) thank YOU...for all the info..and upvotes via...information and empowement! proof of brain!

reading through your older posts. stellar stellar information! mind = blown!

cool. just sent over a couple SBD to @dustsweeper it's ON! thanks again lol

makes total sense. lol..and i just upvoted you again. cheers!

Everything looks fantastic!

thank you so much!!!!!

You have a variety of fruits. This is an almost complete garden. Although you have some kinds of mulberry, but my attention is on the figs. When you are continue the video recording I saw there are figs. I'm glad you have figs because it is very beneficial for health if consumed regularly. To be honest, this is very impressive when enjoying time with family, there!

oh i'm so glad you enjoyed the figs!!!!!!! thanks for your kind comment and upvote!!! they are truly one of my favorites in the whole garden!!! i agree...so wonderful for health!!! we are growing multiple varieties. the brown turkery, black mission, black jack...and kadota. always looking to add more culivars!!!!! the black madiera type of fig....is calling to me!!!!

You have some interesting things growing. I love artichokes but I don't think I can grow them in PA. How long do they take to mature? Are they a permanent bush or do you have to plant them every year? I never really looked into it.

thank you so much for your kind comment! we are growing sun chokes and globe artichoke. the globe artichoke once harvested....is pretty much done. the jerusalem...chokes are tubers...and perennial. a relative of the globe artichoke called cardoon...is more a perennial. check out dan and the plant abundance channel on youtube. he talks a lot about cardoon..and globe artichoke.
