Muddy Monday
A pretty good Monday - I managed to get the veggie garden weeded as hoped, although it ended up being a ridiculously muddy affair! Hopefully we'll do another till next Saturday (add some compost and peat moss) and then I'm good to start planting!Snow peas have been soaking since yesterday, so I'm about to put them into the ground - they seemed to do well in behind the herb garden, climbing the fence, so I'll do that again.
Did a little bit more pruning and tidying in the various beds... transplanted one sad looking violet into the shady garden on the backside of the house. I also added a whole bag of cedar chips to this garden to try and keep the weeds down. I'm not a huge fan of this look, but it's a lot cleaner looking that a bed full of weeds. And once I start adding a few more things here and there, it will look a lot fuller.
Finally, I discovered a bird's nest in the tall grass inside the raspberry patch (but outside the fence, thankfully). Today, I checked up on it, and there were 3 little birds inside! I snuck a couple of pictures, but didn't want to be too obnoxious. Here are a couple:

I'm so sad about the bird followup story. I guess that's Darwin for ya. We've had a couple of cats prowling around and pooping in our beds lately, so I might invest in one of those sprinkler sensor things that you have.
Great posts!
