5th Ave Farm, to date.

From the street, we're a cute green bungalow. Flower beds, bushes and trees frame the house. As you are walking up to the front steps there is a walkway to the south and the north. To the north is the drive way to the south is the side yard where the excitement is. Taking the southern walk around the corner of the house the walk just ends abruptly because the concrete walk way is a project that I never finished. I ran out of money for concrete and the hot summer hit. concrete is hard on the back anytime of year but especially  during the summer heat.

Anyway, if you don't stumble off the end of the walk you see the largest childs play set known to man in a residential back yard. One can pay $1500 for a prefab play kit or spend less on raw materials and build one twice the size. I did the latter.

Beyond the play set is the farm. Its not yet complete. It's an ever work in progress. But in terms of vegetation it consists of; 12 blueberries bushes, 2 plum trees, 36 square feet of asparagus, and then several raised beds of beans, peas, lettuce, squash, okra, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, banana peppers, onions, chard, and strawberries. I am probably leaving something out.

In the far south west corner of the lot is my favorite: In a coop I built are 6 laying chickens Eloise, Ethel, Granny, Tiny Poppy, and Poofy. Thats around 3 or 4 eggs a day. In a chick brooder there are 24 potentially (some might be dinner/roosters) laying bantam chicks only a couple have names. Then there is also 3 meat raising rabbits: Buck, Funny Bunny(Californians) and Salvia (a New Zealand) and 6 baby dinners...err...I mean baby bunnies. Five of them will grow for 10 weeks before being processed. The sixth one will be Bucks third wife. Some of you clever folks reading this probably picked up on the relational problem with that sentence. It's ok. They are rabbits. Rabbits have a tendency to disregard their own family history in favor of getting it on. So I am going to do the same. (I researched the whole thing)

We also have a guard dog.

We have a potters studio, a painters studio, and a woodshop.

God has blessed us richly.
