SPRINGTIME AT THE HOMESTEAD. Gardening with a Border Collie.

📢 The Beavers dammed up the creek, leading to muskrats moving in and geese building nests on top of the muskrat houses.

🏘️ The muskrat houses are now a full house, with tenants both above and below.

💪 The Phoebe's built an in-law apartment and seem to be making themselves at home.

🚸 The Wrens beat the swallows to the waterfront and are enjoying their view.

🌿 The garden has been prepped with hoop houses, hope houses, and a spring cleanup, resulting in a maintenance-free garden with an endless worm bait supply.

💰 The nylon-reinforced visqueen plastic for the hoop houses is pricey but worth the investment since it can last for years.

❓ Many people are asking where to find the nylon-reinforced visqueen plastic, which can be hard to find outside of Alaska.
