I don't know why, I just felt like it

Choteau the cow in the garden

The garden

David's garden

The one cherry has been eaten (by me), along with lots of raspberries, and two apples that fell of the tree a couple of weeks ago.  The red apples are nearly ready to eat, and the two pears are coming along nicely.

These are volunteer nasturtiums from years past.  They are everywere.

This is David's garden:

One cherry

Many apples

Many, many raspberries

This is my garden (which David takes care of for me):

Putting the garden to bed:

Apple blossom time

One of David's newly planted espaliered apple trees has blossoms!  The tree has six kinds of apples on it and the Macintosh and the yellow transparent have put out buds.

Funny, I just bought a book on John Donne yesterday, and today -- look what I found in the garden!

 

 

Of course, mine is a carrot, and very obviously a boy.  But what does that matter; impossible is impossible.

 

We also harvested potatoes this morning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First harvest

Today we picked the first "fruits" of David's new garden.   Brand new baby vegetables!  And I planted the potatoes!

And yet to come -- corn!
