Between land disputes and other life problems I haven't worked on my house in a month. But, thanks to a lot of encouragement, and help from my sister, my vineyard is taking shape. I plan on having some income from it in three years, well Lord willing that is. 

I am digging out and leveling a path all the way down both sides of this row as it is on a fairly steep grade, I would be falling down backwards constantly if I don't do it. After it is dug out, then I have to find something for small retaining walls that doesn't cost a lot of money and is quick and easy to install , so I can put in a thick mulch all through the  vineyard. The next step to do is put in the posts for the blackberries, then start my straw-bale rows that are actually going to be for strawberries next fall, but until then I am going to grow other stuff in them. So, at least a little something is getting done around here, and I hope to work on the house a little next week. Until then, God bless. Ozarkmoma
