Planting Seeds

Yesterday we planted peas, onion starts and potatoes in the raised beds; the smell and touch of freshly tilled soil reminding me of bountiful harvests of the past. The plum trees have stopped blooming, camellia is dropping its flowers, blackberries and grapes have been cut back to start the season. Bird songs filled the air as we worked.

Setting up this blog today was an adventure - deciding what to include and how to organize things... and making this first post!
