So far we've got mint, asparagus, snap peas, radishes, lettuce, and oregano. I think that's it. Can't wait to get the beans, squash, and tomatoes in, but that won't be until mid-May. Oh, almost forgot the blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. :plbb
Good for you, Bob! This heat really does get tiring. Hope you are enjoying Washington.
Vja - I know what you mean about the critters! The darned things sure can be persistent in eating our hard-earned crops. Around here we have ground squirrels, moles, voles, gophers, mice, deer, raccoons...

You know, now that I think about it, I read somewhere that our hummers here don't migrate. I wonder if...
What a beautiful sight! I never get tired of watching wildlife. We have a buck (deer) around here that graces us with his pressence once in a while. He has lived in this area for a very long time and is humongous. I haven't counted how many points he has, but every time I see him I am...
