Early Morning Watering and Garden Puttering


This isn't garden or puttering, but you can never have too many cute baby pictures... Baby E playing on his "computer".  We train them young around here.


I *think* this is a cucumber.  There are so many weeds that look similar that it's hard to know for sure- so I'm not pulling anything until they get a little bigger and I can better distinguish weed from plant.


The transplanted raspberries seem to be doing pretty well- we only lost a couple.


Beans are up, and I'm happy to report that the saved seeds appear to be coming up at the same rate as the purchased seed.


Finally, potatoes!  There are only three plants up, so hopefully the others pop up soon, so I can bury them all again...


Some of these are weeds, but most of them are sunflowers.  It's going to be fun to have the long row of them edging the garden.


Blackcaps.  Even without the bees, they seem to be thriving and there are lots of buds where fruit will form.

I didn't take a picture, but the tomatoes and peppers are being hardened off, so we'll get them planted on saturday.  Also, there are three cracked eggs on the garage floor that I've been putting off cleaning up... I put them in the pocket of the stroller canopy to bring to the house, and when we got to the garage, baby E pulled the canopy down, dumping the eggs.  I about cried because we have two or three broody hens and eggs aren't as abundant as they have been.
