Jeanne didn’t waste any time in planting salad greens in the new greenhouse beds. They popped up pretty fast. Nice to see that greenery with winter still not over yet outside.
The cabin interior with rough earthen plaster on the walls, tarp over the unfinished adobe floor, and a huge fridge to use as an ice box (it finally got moved out in November and replaced with a working chest freezer wired to a remote thermostat to run as a fridge). Seating for four. No large parties possible here – although college dorm kids might disagree…
Looking east inside. Rough, temporary cabinets. A hose with a garden spray nozzle for a faucet (you can reach the greenhouse with it!), an antique wood cookstove, and a pass-through wood box (the door on the wall to right of stove).
Things dried out enough to allow us to hire a bulldozer to come out and blade the mile long irrigation ditch that serves the property. This is one of the sketchier sections on a steep mountainside. Someday, we’d like to get this ditch replaced with buried pipe so we don’t worry as much about this whole thing sliding down the mountainside. Whenever we lose our water down at the farm, we run up here expecting the worst, but it’s usually a silted up entry gate causing the outage. Once we did have a blow out on the canal, but thankfully it wasn’t here. This would be hard to fix if it ever washed out.
