May showers brings June flowers?

Wha' happened to our summer?! I got tricked into planting my tomatoes earlier than I should have with that blip of a summer we had... but I have great hopes for the future. The rain and coolness is certainly good for all the greens and peas. Here are a few shots of those gorgeous pink tulips that are just finishing up. And who I think is the leader of our murder of crows that frequent the garden - 'Hitch'.

Hitch on the Hobbit Tree

Our Summer Spring has arrived...

Thanks to all the members who came out to our sunny Saturday work party. The cool winds have disappeared and it's now lovely breezes in what appears to be full on summer weather. 

Lots of weeding, cleaning up in the common areas and compost bins was accomplished, as well as refurbishing the Hobbit Tree pockets. The garden is looking pretty amazing for early May. The lilacs are in full swing along with the Solomon Seal and rhubarb. A few more daring of us... uh... maybe it's just me... have set out their tomato seedlings with full expectations of a bumper crop! I think over the next couple of weeks we are going to see an explosion of growth as it has now warmed up. Have fun planting more seeds!

Happy Gardening!
