1 more plot

Denise Chiavetta and family helped prepare the last remaining plot before the rain really got going this morning, and the garden is in good shape for late spring. Clover is tall, the bees were very quiet (light rain & cool), bluebird peeked out of the birdhouse, and one huge new mound of horse manure. Senior prom has been in evidence at my house - much excitement there! Spring fever all around....

Bees, clover...

Wow, both hives were buzzing this afternoon, and both crops of crimson clover are looking good. A carpenter bee was working the blueberry bushes, and the grapes are budding out nicely.
