The 2023 summer season again was filled with grasshoppers. We started building above-ground planters so that we could cover them and keep them higher up. So here are pictures of the cactus garden and strawberry garden.

We also put in 100 or more trees from Shand Greenhouse. Every year we get some for our shelter belt and dugout.
And of course a little fun.
