Garden and Nest

A few days ago I noticed shiny strings in the crook of a tree.The next day I saw a bird land in the crook about 20 feet up in a tree. A robin had gathered the tinsel from our neighbor's Christmas tree that was lying in his burn pile. So we have a robin with fancy tastes to watch this summer.

We have a few small patches of grass that came back from last fall.

The second batch of lettuce I planted in the cold frames.
Spinach seedlings with Maple tree blooms. I think I am going to be constantly pulling baby maple trees out of my garden--like at our other house.

Sugar snap peas trying to come up.

Kale seedlings. We have never eaten Kale, but it is pretty and is really good for us so we will give it a try.

Hey Becky,
We're going to grow kale and swiss chard...I've never grown either. Is the kale in your cold frame? I don't have any cold frames...not this year, so I'm thinking I'll have to try planting directly in the garden plot...now!

KALE IS VERY YUMMY IN VEGGIE SOUPS.
TRY IT!
