Growth In The Garden ...

Excited to see the growth in the garden ...

the green peppers doing well ... 

and my Eggplant has quite a few blossoms ...

Protecting the Apple and Plums trees ...

from ants ...

placing a special band around the trunk of the tree ...

and spreading a salve of Pine Sap ...

to trap the ants ... 

It has been raining for days here ...

finally had a chance to go out into the garden ...

Kita ... our neighbours dog ...

loves to come down for a visit and look for gophers in the field ...

My strawberries were ready to be picked ...

then checked on the chives ... marigolds ... beans ... onions ... carrots ... beets and potatoes ...

growing in this raised bed garden ...

before the next storm blew in ....

I was able to take a picture of the rainbow ...

and just in the nick of time ...

while heading back to the house when the clouds opened up ...

and it started to rain again ...
