We were hit with a most welcomed heat wave last weekend and that initiated getting our plot at the community garden ready for the season. Larry was in town and offered to dig up the raised beds for me - I don't think he knew what he was getting himself into! Well, the rookie gardener really showed off his gardening talents, and after two days the plot looks great! We planted 4 types of tomatoes, zukes, blue lake string beans, moved the icelandic poppies, and replanted the hardy celeste fig tree. Beyond being somewhat sore and wiped out from the heat and work, the growing season has begun and we'll just wait and reap the benefits this summer.
My double delight rose bush and bearded irises are currently thriving in the garden and the raspberries got a nice trimming. I even spotted some raspberry blooms meaning raspberries are coming! I spotted a woodpecker on the telephone pole early Thursday morning and he was going at it as woodpeckers do. Hearing him really marks the coming of Spring to Norther California- a welcome sound!

Experiencing the harsh winter we had in the northeast it was a pleasure for me to be outside with you enjoying the warm weather. I can not wait to visit california again so that I could see the garden. Maybe I will even get a chance to taste something from it.
