Sunny skies are here again! After the third sunny day in a row I stopped counting, but let me tell you Bob, a girl could sure get used to SUNSHINE in May. 😉 After a looooong and wet winter here in the Pacific Northwest I think we’ve finally turned a corner. Fingers crossed the weather holds and the tomato plants start growing like mad.
The Girl has taken over mowing for this year {a job previously held by Monkey Boy} and let’s just say she hasn’t quite gotten the hang of the weed eater {trimmer} yet. Her solution? Use scissors around the garden boxes. Which I think is pretty stinkin’ hilarious.
In other news… we found a free basket poking out of a dumpster and promptly rescued it. Which then made us unable to stop repeating “Awww… Who would throw away a perfectly good friend?” for the next 2 hours.
The fava beans are getting pretty tall…and most plants have thumbnail sized buds growing off the stalks… which can only mean one thing: bean pods are not far behind. 🙂
The potato plants have broken through the soil as well as a few sunflowers and carrots.
Lucy and I harvested our first radish from the garden last night and are patiently waiting for the cucumber, pumpkins and zucchini to pop up out of the dirt {Lucy LOVES zucchini!}.
Life. It’s pretty rad right now… 🙂 🙂 🙂
Have a WONDERFUL week.

My little dog, Ellie, has discovered my strawberry bed. She ate all the berries, even the white ones! How do you keep Lucy from eating up your berries?
