Signs of Spring

It's here! Actually, maybe it's getting to be summer, 'cause it's actually been hot.

Chives in a vintage mailbox. These grow like weeds and they're only sparse now because we've been using so many of 'em.

Chive blossom on the patio. I guess these are edible but I prefer to look at them.

The first strawberries. Not quite ready. This year we have to stay on our toes and get them before the birds do.

This is my last try at tomatoes. I have found the sunniest possible spot -- this is hard in our shady, shady yard. So these suckers had better produce. Otherwise I wash my hands of home-grown tomatoes FOREVER!
