Garden Update

There's been a whole heap of gardening going on around here. Snow may still be piled high in other parts of the world, but around here in the Desert Southwest, spring has SPRUNG!
The sticks that consisted of my grapevines have sprouted green.
I harvested one of these delectable morsels this morning....Oh So Sweet and Delicious! It's all out war between me and the birds. We have the plants covered with netting but there are some suspicious looking peck marks seen on a few of the berries!

My ever lovin' garden slave and all around good guy TL has been preparing soil for me.


He even built me this marvel of engineering for our climbing plants, tomatoes, cucumbers and squash.....

It's time to get these folks in the ground.....before the sun fries!
Nope, that's not tonight's dinner, it's hopefully this summer's harvest!

Speaking of harvest, I've had to yank out the old to prepare for the new. The peas are history, the carrots are few and the lettuce is plentiful! I'm trying a new variety of heat tolerant lettuce this year, hoping beyond hope that I can extend the season.....

And these boys and girls (Better boy and Early Girl ) are settled into their new homes....At the turn of each season, I learn anew about having faith, planting my little seeds, trying to nourish them and waiting with baited breath to see the miracle of life again!
