Kentucky Farm Collies - Solid Rock Ranch

We have been working on getting our new round pen up. We had to move the old one. The ground is still soft enough to dig holes, since we've been getting lots of rain, and no freeze since November.

We use the round pens to get the young dogs started on herding and also for training the ponies.

We've got to finish the solid wall now.

May-Our garden is taking shape. We moved it too. We have carpet in-between our tomato and pepper rows here. Carpet is wonderful for keeping grass and weeds gone, and soft to walk on. Also, in the big thunderstorms with downpours, the carpet keeps the soil in place. We have tomatoes, peppers, all kinds, cucumbers, onions, squash, watermelon, cucumbers, peas and beans are 2-3 feet high now. We are planting lots of flowers and bulbs mixed into our garden along with bird feeders, hummingbird feeders, toad houses and wind chimes.

Can't wait till everything grows large!
