The State of the WWUF
Posted by: bootpig on: July 13, 2011
The Wee Wannabe Urban Farm, yay for acronyms. I find it hard to believe that we’ve only been here since March 21, so almost 4 months, and it feels comfortable. We find our way around easily and continue to explore new areas, and the little house simply feels like we’ve been here all along. We have houseguests the next two weekends. Well, this weekend is a houseguest. Next weekend is the bestie, so the nice thing about that is I get to continue on with projects and puttering and living and she adds to that. I miss her and I’m glad she’s coming.
This is a little photo heavy post but pix are good for updates.
The front yard mystery plant has turned out to be an apple tree..or crabapples...apple-ish
The apple-ish items are beginning to turn red (when the lone squirrel doesn't eat them, he has one EVERY DAY for lunch)
A conservative guess would be about 150 of these 4-5" apple/crabapples on the one tree
Very successful spearmint and peppermint patch. That's a cut off tub to keep them corraled but they are doing so well. Yummy. Mojitos, tea, and I think I may tackle some mint ice cream next week
Container grown cantelopes which have already outgrown the 54" tomato cage and are now attaching to the back porch. So far, better experiment than expected.
Cukes in a self-watering earthtainer.
Okra - the one thing truly loving this crazy heat
We have basil everywhere, and it is gorgeous. Hooray pesto!
Giant tomato in earthtainer/self-watering container. Too hot to set fruit right now but trying to keep it healthy until cooler weather for another round of tomatoes.
Coop frame is coming along

I love you and miss you too- and I cannot wait to get there!! I loveeee mint – the starts we got from you are doing so well! !
You both have syntrivical energy- and you bring to, give to and take live energy from where ever you are. You become a part of, not an addition to. As much as I miss you, I can’t imagine you anywhere else.
Loves to the Unkle and I’ll see you next week!!!!
