Huerta pix

Here are the latest pix from our veggie garden.


Here's my gloved hand about to transplant zucchini (the little sis).

Our yummy lettuce.

Our broad beans.

These are our beets.

One of our celery plants.

Even though they are not enough for us to live, they are definately part of our learning process.

Three sisters

Pix soon!

It's huerta time!

I've already tilled the soil, put down seeds, now it's time to get down and dirty!

Look what I found!

I was walking around the balneario and I came across this little guy. Is it cute or what?


This is what it looked like in its natural habitat, before we wacked it.

Stormy Bella Vista

A huge storm blew over us this weekend, wreaking all kinds of havoc along its way.
Here are some pix of closeby damage.




Ok, this is not really damage, just a pile of garden waste I rounded up after the storm


Eucalyptus branches are everywhere.

More branches.

This is the worst one I saw, fortunately there's not much damage to the house.

Gates

Well, we have decided to put up two brick pillars and a gate.

Don Felipe is doing the mason work and we did the design and construction of the gate itself. Still need to figure out about the brace and the third set of hinges.
