so how did we spend the fourth of july? why, out in the garden of course! at least for a few hours in the morning. it was hot, the mosquitoes were hungry and we had a great time. i have really begun to enjoy sunday mornings in the garden. we have a small group of delightful and dedicated volunteers who show up to work and they help make the time pass quickly.
taking the time to bake a cake each week is not a burden. it is more like a big thank you to this small band of friends who come out each week and to all of the new interns who stop by to begin earning their work hours for certification. this week, it was a sour cherry crumb cake.
the log wall is complete!!! a big thanks to john wallace, the log fairy. john brought out two loads of logs in the exact sizes we needed and we are now done!!!
my $3 rose bush from walmart is thriving in the herb garden. it is part of the old edible flowers bed and i am going to leave it right where it is. the foliage looks great and there are lots of hips developing so i am a little hesitant to move it.

the bluebirds are back this year. they liked the box last year so they came back. we also assume that they like the garden-must be lots to eat! free pest control, you can't beat that!

they must be hungry
