Back in the Garden again

Long time no see...yes I am a terrible blogger, but I need an account so I can at least leave a comment to my long lost tree planting son. Well, maybe I can jot a few more notes this year.

First poppie in bloom of the season - hurray! It was amazingly hot here today for May - my car thermometer said 32 C. I am glad I watered everything this am. Peas are up and about 6" high onto the fence. We ate about my sixth salad tonight - spinache and lettuce, onion and chives and one sprig of kale - full organic, not bad for an amateur this early in the season eh? Tastes great with olive oil and some dressing.

The asparagus is up about 5' tall now - wow it grows fast. I have about 3 of my main square foot plots still to plant out. This weekend probably. It is very satisfying checking on everything growing after a day at the office. The life in the ground just can't wait to flow up into those veggies, and the poor little transplants just LOVE it when they get out of those tight little packs into some good soil of their own - man! do they take off!

Anyway, I must take some pix soon. All the best to other contrary rustics.
