New feet within my garden go,
New fingers stir the sod;
A troubadour upon the elm
Betrays the solitude.
New children play upon the green,
New weary sleep below;
And still the pensive spring returns,
And still the punctual snow!

-Emily Dickinson








Boys enjoying our second cycle of strawberry crop.

All but one cucumber died and no actual cucumber thus far along with some cauliflower next to an artichoke plant in another pot which is Solomon's favorite plant.

Squash just took off in growing!

Eggplant flower with some pictures of the rapidly growing eggplants.

Blueberries have all ripen and been eaten as well as the raspberries.


Some peppers as well.
We have been having so much fun with our small garden this year that I cannot wait to build my raised beds for a much bigger garden next year.

Gardening...

We have had a couple of nice sunny days- just perfect for getting our gardening and landscaping started.

I took out the ugly bushes in front with the boys and Dan's brute strength with a pick ax and planted three blueberry bushes. EarlyBlue, Bluecrop, and Chandler Bluberry and in that order is when they ripen over the summer so I can have blueberries all summer long.
Planted a Red and Golden Raspberry roots.
Some strawberry roots in a couple of pots.

In our adventures of digging in the dirt- we made some friends with worms. Check out the biggest one I have ever seen!













Here is our new red-hot lawn mower with Dan test driving it for the first time. Behind him you can see our blueberry "bushes" under the window:
