Later in the season i built a small shed and that was the last construction project of 2022. We took a couple months off but have been busy with the garden over much of the winter. We had 5 cedars that were dead and hanging over the top of the greenhouse so we had them taken down. We decided to have the stumps removed to create a second level of the garden. This space will get some fruit trees and has 3 rows for planting corn, pumpkins and zucchini. I also finally got the entire 285 ft of permanent fencing completed. Next is to extend the irrigation system up in the new space. Summer is coming!

I built a small garden shed for my wife to keep supplies.

It has a small solar system that powers lights inside, fans for drying vegetables, and the electric fencing I will be installing soon to keep the bears out!

Sun dried tomatoes in oil was only some of what we made with all the tomatoes we harvested last season.

We got the 3 additional water tanks installed and plumbed in, we know can store 15,000 gallons of rainwater for the summer.

Completed the hog wire section of the fence back in December, we decided to make the more visible section of fence pretty.

The new area has a small staircase from the lower existing garden and is wrapped with a less attractive but taller wire fence.
