From the Garden Journal


. . .it’s raining again, and has been raining every day for the last week.  We can’t seem to get a break long enough to plant in the gardens.  Even if it stops, the ground is too wet.

. . . our first potatoes are up






. . . our buttercrunch lettuce is up


. . .the heirloom lettuce is up


. . .the heirloom peas are up and a few spinach plants


. . .the solar bird house has not yet been visited by birds. 

The inside actually lights up at night, after a full day of charging in the sun.  I’m not sure the birds will enjoy a night light.
