Finally - garden pics!

I apologize in advance b/c I am sure that my commentary will not match up with the pictures. I'm not sure why it's doing that, but I don't have time to fiddle with my formatting settings, so I am just hoping you can follow along! Here is the new garden! The top picture is of our new strawberry patch - comprised actually of all the babies from just two plants that we had last year. They are already covered in fruits. The girls just love this rabbit that Mimo (our neighbor) gave to them for Easter.






The next picture is part of the vegetable patch -- the bigger bed in the back will be four tomato plants. There is a path dividing the front bed in half - the top part is seeded with arugula and swiss chard; the bottom part has my red onions, shallots and brocolli. In the fall I'll fill it with garlic - yummy!
A family of robins are enjoying our blooming rhododenrons this year. You can see right into the next from the little side porch off of our tv room. The girls are enjoying watching them grow up - I think they'll be flying away soon!

The garden turned out SO nice! If it ever stops raining, we'll have to make a time to visit and sit out there for a while to catch up.
