The first poppy came out this morning! Of course it was raining, so I waded through the sopping grass to get over to the poppy garden and take a picture or two.
I wish I'd had the camera out a bit later, when a finch came by to check out the poppies, and sat on one of the buds for a while. When it stops raining, I should scrub out the birdbath and get it into the garden.
After the salad last night, I need to rethink the lettuce I'm growing in the garden. I don't like the endive-type lettuces. They're too bitter for my taste. And the broadcast seed means that I need to spend what seems like an excessive amount of time picking and preparing the salad. I'd rather use square-foot gardening methods and wait a little bit longer to harvest larger leaves without needing to thin.
Today we ate the first produce from our garden. Salad!
All the rain has been good to the gardens.
