The space is much better than it was, particularly for the penguins who now have more than twice the space. Additionally the Amazon area is vastly improved as is the otter area (which has an indoor and outdoor area). The only problem currently is that they opened before they had actually managed to move all of the animals. I look forward to seeing it once they have actually finished moving.
Because we were not able to plant this weekend we had to plant into the night tonight. Our first radishes (3 kinds), carrots (5 kinds), parsnips, beets, sugar beets (so we can make our own sugar if we want to), lettuce (2 kinds thus far), cabbage, kale, onions (3 kinds), peas, and garlic are in. The radishes we planted a few weeks ago are even coming up.
Early spring also shows us just how many types of fruit we can expect, our plum tree is full of flowers (the pink are for one kind which get ripe earlier, the white another)
and our peach trees are starting to bloom.
Our raspberries are starting to come back, meaning we should have a huge number of raspberries this year.
Peter also planted more cherry bushes, each will produce 20 lbs. by the time it is 5 years old, I don't think he really understands how many cherries this will be.
