Columbine - an interesting flower!
We actually planted a few of these earlier this spring, but the bunnies got to them before they ever had a chance to flower. Here is one that we found in a completely different location. I'm guessing a bird dropped a seed here as I have no idea where this one came from. I'll take it though - so unique looking.

First lettuce Harvest
Made a super yummy salad with this batch. Had to wash it like a dozen times though before the water ran clear! :)
Radishes!
It's just about time to harvest our first radishes. This year we planted Easter Egg variety. Here is a pic on May 10th - and one taken today, June 3rd.

Bleeding Heart Growth
Just a few pictures of our bleeding heart (originally planted in 2005). It is one of the first perennials to make an appearance. The first picture was taken April 5th and the second on April 29th. The third picture is a close up. Amazing what a little water (actually a lot of water in our zone!) and sunshine will do...

G is for Garden
What better way to start a new blog - than with a new season and a new garden. We have expanded our old garden (8 X 20) to 8 X 55. You can see that at the back side of the fence we have attached a 24" galvanized steel rabbit fence. We dug this a few inches in the ground and secured to the back cedar fence with a staple gun. We are expecting some work in our yard later this week, so we plan to finish off the front fencing this upcoming weekend. Instead of securing the fence to the posts the traditional way, we have been told that cable ties would be better as they are easier to work with if you need to change things around a bit.
Here is a photo of the garden, before the expansion work:
