May 10, 2013

Ups and downs in the garden life.  Someone is nibbling at the butternut squash leaves.  I believe it is snails, and have put out beer traps in old tuna and catfood cans.  No takers last night.  We will see. On the up side, there are definitely carrots coming up in their assigned row, and there are flowers on two tomato plants!  In the back yard we have set up the pavilion for the summer, with rug, table, chairs, and fire pit.  Today I found it festooned with hanging baskets of flowers-- an early Mothers' Day gift.  Bill has tilled a narrow bed around the sunnier sides of the yard by the surrounding bay laurel, and plans to sow wild flower seeds therein.
