June has been another busy month. At the farm the vibe has been “palletes”!  The well was needing a cover so we used a set of palletes for a strong sturdy cover. The top layer is of artificial  grass to keep the wood from the hot sun. We also built some benches from the pallets, a “pallete palace”  to keep the extra wood and various pieces of construction materials and a BBQ set up. There now exists a wall of palletes to keep the wind from blowing down the greenhouse and some of the bedroom wall divisions are made from palletes..! 

The cover for the water tanks was in need of an overhaul. After a thorough cleansing, we redid the lid with protective material and then artificial grass. Now it has a flat surface to climb upon and watch the sunset! A fence is in the process of installation, the guest room has been completed and decorated and a play area has been designated. It actually got cold for awhile with rain and the  grapes are growing everywhere! The pumpkins are flowering. the figs are ripening, the plums are falling since there are so many of them and the apples are getting bigger every day! First fruit harvest!
