There are all kinds of excitement happening. In the recent past I posted on getting a shipping container for instant storage garage. That container was a “used” container and after close inspection was found to be leaking in the roof. SOooo, that resulted in trading that one back in and getting an upgraded “new” shipping container. A “new” container has only made one trip across the ocean, but it is basically in new shape (minus the scratch here and there from where the cranes grab them).
Then I had my friend Jonathan’s help to install a new sign on the driveway/road coming in. It’s cemented 4ft in the ground… good luck anyone ever getting it out without a backhoe.
Which leads to the next adventure! A backhoe was found for sale for a steal, so it was acquired. This one Jonathan bought for our use around the property and his eventual use on his dream peony farm, which is also going to start here this fall. Yes, that means there will be pictures someday of an insane amount of peonies. We visited one a few hrs away in Maine and it was quite interesting to see and learn how they farm them.
The peony farm also grows garlic. It is amazing to see that much garlic growing at once. They say it is a great crop for them that they just started recently and basically they can’t grow enough of it and its bought up instantly. On the note of growing, the Chestnut trees are all starting to grow new leaves and branches. Even the ones I thought died. It is amazing how well they have done!
