Domestic Weekend - Gardening & Jam

This weekend, in the rain, Arne created a strawberry garden for our back yard. First he had to spend some time preparing the plants and the area. Arne has a little seedling farm he created.



Some of the seedlings come from lupine seeds we brought back from New Zealand. They are currently growing and getting bigger along with the other plants on the "incubator" table.



After preparing all the plants, Arne needed to dig out the area for the plants and create a fence to keep out the dogs.



Right now the garden is filled with strawberry plants and herbs. Once the plants are all big, then I will be able to make strawberry jam with our own plants! This weekend I made jam with strawberries from the farmer's market.



We had a lovely domestic weekend, working in the garden and kitchen!
