Outdoor kitchen construction has begun!




We finally have installed the 1909 900lb. cast iron sink in the outdoor kitchen area. The sink is hooked to plumbing that can be drained in the winter so it does not freeze. The plumbing runs through the greenhouse and then hooks to a hose spigot outside and is cold water only. The PVC drainage has been piped past the lower garden area. The sink will not be used for anything except washing vegetables and hands or filling my canning pot. Any soap used will be camp soap that is biodegradable. I also got a Camp Chef Denali 3X stove that will be used for cooking and canning outdoors. Eventually, the area will have a roof over it that will  match the opposite greenhouse side, walls and windows. There will be two large sliding barn doors that open and a smaller door on the side. There will be a refrigerator next to the sink, a bar with seating and concrete countertop, and a work area next to the sink that the stove will sit on for canning. I am not sure if it will all come together this summer, but at least I have the essentials of sink and stove!

We have already planted most of the upper garden including 113 tomato plants, onions, garlic, lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, herbs. We have tilled and raked the lower garden and are installing fence around it before we plant that area. Here are some pictures of the garden work we have been doing and the new chickens.
