Garden Update

The garden is looking pretty good right now. It is that perfect time when you have prepared the ground and the plants are coming up, but the weeds haven't caught up yet. Next weekend, I bet that this situation will have changed and there will be plenty of weeds to occupy my time. I noticed tiny little dill plants starting to volunteer all over the place. I never have to seed it down, it just seeds itself. If only all gardening was this easy.

Bicycle Built for Two

This happy couple took to perching on my bike. I only wish I had turned my helmet top side up.

Happy Hunting

The soil turned up all sorts of worms and the occasional pupae. This opportunistic Robin followed the furrows.

New Life

I found this robin shell remnant nestled in the grass. It made me smile, it is such a lovely blue and soon there will be a young robin hopping around.

Still Digging

It has been a hard slog. There is lots of clay in the soil and it is wet and heavy. We finally turned over the whole garden but it is still too wet to rototill. Maybe next week. It has been a cold melancholy day. The sky is overcast which is ideal for digging but I cannot quite escape the Sunday blues.
