The Eve of May

Yesterday and today have been full-sun days, but also windy! The yard is showing it in the sudden sort of wilty-droopy-droughty look it has taken on. But then tomorrow night is forecast to be mid-30's (!) and thunderstorms middle to end of next week.

Here a few pictures. It looks like with the rain we got shortly after I planted, all the lettuce relocated to the celery corner, and I only see one celery shoot so far.

This is a little delicate celery sprout – with the two little leaves poking out on top. It is barely 1/8" tall.

Here are the lettuce that are crowding the celery quarter:

The peas, single file:

Monnie and I thinned out the radishes today to give 'em some space.

Spinach sprouts?

The berries in focus:

The irises will begin to bloom soon. . . 

And. . . . . . . the first sun-tea of the season!
