Waiting for June 1

It's not really warm enough for peppers, cucumbers, melons and tomatoes in Colorado until early June. So while we're waiting to plant the front yard garden, we made one more lasagna bed today in the back. Probably for zucchini and summer squash.

I hope R never outgrows her love of raking dirt, because it comes in handy.

The salad garden is really taking off.


Looking north from the back fence, through the lilacs.

Watering in the garden apron the Easter Bunny gave her.

I am so excited for these peonies to open all the way. I love them against the silvery blue-green artemisia.

The first radish harvest!
