I'm a Fair-Weather Photographer

A few photo updates during a break in all the rain.

Some friends are taking out much of their landscaping and gave us some day lilies

and irises, which are all doing nicely.

The front flowerbed is planted

and the strawberries are holding their own against the weeds, as I barely weed in nice weather---I CERTAINLY do no such thing in rain.

And remember when I said I had planted snap peas between the garlic rows because I thought the peas would help feed the garlic--only to read that peas don't like growing near garlic?

Yeah--the peas didn't read the same book.  They're even happily climbing up the garlic, which looks a bit mangy but works rather nicely.

And the kohlrabi are getting close to ready to harvest, and I'm hoping to harvest broccoli soon, though having 9 plants going at once promises to be VERY interesting.

The potato box is successful so far

and I'm hoping will make it easier to find the potatoes.  I think I'm a fun person, but playing hide-and-seek with root vegetables doesn't even make MY list.

And if it ever gets a bit warmer, these guys are waiting to be planted.  Since it's ALMOST June, I'm hoping to put the sweaters away very soon......
