This and That on a Sunday Morning

Will has been working so hard in (and around) the garden...and it is heartwarming to see that, after a long stretch of very bad gardening weather (about a year and a half) that finally, FINALLY....the garden gods are smiling. Too bad I'm not a turnip fan, because the germination is so good and there will be so many turnips. Also cabbages!

AND, after several years of going without, we have put in strawberries...thank you Tri-Parish Co-op for having them to put aside for us, and thank you Ian for coming pout last week to help put down the plastic and put them in....
behind the strawberries we have very lovely Asian greens (very mild, very elegant).
And then there's the on-going greenhouse experiment..

I'm a big, big fan of this....gardening in a more controlled space. These pictures don't do it justice - when the plants get big (broccoli, cauliflower and the like) all these plants will be touching each other. I predict a thing of beauty.
And now for the randomness.....kershaws on the compost pile, a spider on the tractor - sweet potatoes in the middle of the field....
...and random squash by the house - volunteering awesomness...and squash!
