Garden Update

Monday, March 30th, 2009

So, a month has gone by and much of the garden is doing fine. Some of the lobelia, one of the garlic, one of the peas and the stinging nettle have gone the way of the white clouds. I did have my first garden salad the other day.

So, here’s a couple of lopsided pics of the garden:

I’ve planted the raspberry and blueberry bushes and my latest edition is a cherry tree. So excited!

I’m enjoying living out in the yard more now. Seems as though we’ve really put down roots here, literally and figuratively.

Injoy,
