Which one do you think we should put on our wall?

Compare our house now to before we bought it two years ago:

This year they’re tucked safely in the back yard…where I only lost a quarter of them to deer. Grr.

That said…beautiful! And visited today by a tiger swallowtail, no less:

Now all I need is a wheelbarrow and dumptruck full of compost.

If all goes well this summer, we should have a few pounds of blueberries from last year’s plantings, and an odd raspberry or blackberry. By next year we should get 10-40 pounds of berries. And by 2012 we should have so many we’ll need a chest freezer.

Gooooood times.
