May 2023: The First Week
Monday’s strawberry harvest complete with squirrel gnaws & slug bites:
The western border of Lichterman Nature Center:
The second round of free volunteer tomatoes:
We planted volunteer tomato seedlings in these hay bales to see if they had been treated with Grazon before applying the hay to our garden or using it for compost. It is still early so we’ll see how things go:
Treated the strawberries with diatomaceous earth to fend off the slugs:
This is the first year the grape has tried to make flowers:
The dog & the goddess:
Our fairy lights from last year died so we had to run new ones:
Cozy place by the fire:
