April Garden

I should have taken before and after photos of my garden today because I was very productive out there. I'm glad to report that the second planting of tomatoes went into the top hill bed. It will be the cherry row. I also put in a bit of butter lettuce at the same time. I used to love my grandpa's butter lettuce, so today's planting was in honor of him.

I did a ton of weeding and cleaning up and the results look great. I wish I had a before photo because it was impossible to walk outside on the patio without making a yellow pollen mess from the Birch tree seed pods. I got a great arm workout sweeping up that messy debris, and now it's beautiful out on the patio.

After I could walk freely without tracking seeds everywhere, I weeded around the blueberry bushes. These have only been in a year, but it looks like the largest one is going to produce a lot of berries. I worked the hillside to help with blueberry irrigation, since it hasn't been raining, and there is no rain in the forecast. I'm glad it's not as windy today.
