Stonehouse Garden pictures

I am over run with tomatoes ... bushels and bushels of tomatoes. I made every mistake possible with this garden and next year it will be radically different but we are enjoying the harvest .... Bun ... plan on fresh corn everyday when you visit on the long weekend. I've always wanted to get a pot of water boiling and then run out and pick the corn to eat. Indeed I read somewhere that the corn patch needs to be uphill from the pot so that you are running downhill to get to it quickly after you pick the corn. I estimate it will take about 30 to 60 seconds to pick the corn and get it into the pot .... I can't wait.

And Laura and Nadia spent two days picking tomatoes and canning last weekend and this was only the first harvest. The big harvest(s) is still to come since I started the garden about a month or two late. The larger tomatoes are just starting to ripen and I have 128 plants to harvest ... "BE AFRAID"

Vida and Laura's Bedroom

Before

Some Before Pictures from the first visit.

Here are the during and after pictures ... this room turned out pretty well and is now functional and just about finished ... some minor issues still to address

 

I lined all the closets in the bedrooms with cedar ... smells nice and are bug proof. There is a picture later of Laura and Vida officially opening this closet after we put in the shelfing.

 

The Floor was not savable so we put a new pine floor on top. Even this floor ultimately will be replaced with birds-eye maple.

 

The Official opening of the Closet.

 

I have since drywalled around the opening rather than put in a new door jam and mouldings ... still have to figure out what to put in the doorway to close it off.
