2023 was full of research, land preparation, rain, patience, more research, and more rain!! We also spent a large majority of our time moving back and settling into our newly renovated home after reveal day! :)
We fixed up an old swing, cleaned up a little garden shed, & did some landscaping... but our biggest project by far last year was restoring one of the raised garden bed areas! It's not complete [aesthetically speaking - there's more to come!] but it's functional and we had a somewhat successful growing season last year. We will hopefully be expanding this area a bit this season if time allows!

Chez Poulet - Coop Renovation
When we purchased the property from our family, we inherited a pretty neat coop with it! Not neat in the sense that it was tidy, I mean, what coop is?! It was also already occupied by several hens, a goose, and a rooster. Our feathered friends are now relocated with the family and are our new favorite neighbors :) That means we can now use the coop to start our own feather family.. so that's exactly what we're doing this year! A full renovation of our coop is in the works and will carry into 2025! So far we have: constructed a brand new run to the south side of the coop, installed an automatic chicken door, and renovated the interior of the coop! We also recently replaced the leaking roof with a new, metal one just in time for the cold weather to arrive!
Greenhouse Construction
We learned a lot last year from the gardens, starting with the impact that the crazy New England weather can have on your produce! Living here our whole lives, this was not a foreign concept to us of course... but growing in this climate on this scale is something we had never done! Besides taking lots of notes, investing in a small hobby greenhouse was our next logical move. Growing in a greenhouse will allow us to have more control over the growth environment of some of our crops and extend our growing seasons on both ends!

Backyard Overhaul
Another project on the list for this year was a total backyard overhaul! We installed a new patio with a firepit, BBQ area, outdoor living and dining room areas! We finally have a nice spot to relax as a family and to entertain guests! Check out the patio install by clicking here!
