Snacking

With work claiming just about all of my time, I was still able to sneak a few moments at sunset to wander about the garden snacking on the fresh peas, parsely and cilantro.. smelling the lemon verbena as it begins to come out.. and generally enjoying the garden. I removed a few shovelfulls of sod from the area I will dedicate to the squash this year, and I pulled a few weeds, but mostly I just wanted to enjoy the garden that I almost never get to see because of work commitments..

Finally some sunny days have resulted in the garden drying out somewhat, so I am watering still hoping for some onion sprouts, though my expectations have lessened without a hint of them thus far..

I am a bit behind in getting pepper seeds started, and I have postponed starting tomatoes from seed until the fall crop. With a bit of luck and some free time I will get cucumbers in the ground soon, with other summer vegetables to follow.
