I would have taken "before" photos of my plot, but I was overwhelmed looking at it this morning. I knew how late I was getting it in shape and how much should be done. After accomplishing a day's work, I'm now enjoying the "after" photos.
It was a drizzly day. I weeded, transplanted rogue strawberry plants, moved salt marsh hay from beds to paths, set up a tomato pole, screened compost and turned it in under a couple beds, top-dressed my asparagus bed, transplanted onion seedlings and dahlias tubers. I didn't get to everything: lettuce and cabbage seedlings need to go in and more compost is needed, but its a good start.
During my work, I saw two male rose-breasted gross beaks flitting around, and a couple male Baltimore orioles. Bight flashes of color over the garden plots. I suppose they were vying for prime territories before the females arrive.
Skippy rested on the salt hay in the garden paths while I worked. At dusk, he got a nice walk to the swimming hole. Now its time for a good nights' rest.

Bet you and Skippy had a good nights sleep after all that work and air! It's a slow start this year at the Lottie, we only dared to sow some root seeds directly last week after a few beautiful sunny days had warmed the soil. It has been so windy here the past few days and gales forecasted for tomorrow. I planted some brassica seedlings at the weekend, I will have to go tonight and secure them under pegged down plastic tunnels or their leaves may twist off in the wind!

Your garden always looks so good! I just love vegetable gardens, one of these days I'm going to spend a summer photographing as many as I can and make myself a calendar or something.
