Perimeter Check Early June

Bonjour tout le monde! Hope this June day finds you happy and thriving! Early this morning, about 5 am, Nicky and I went out into the garden, coffee in hand (me), bone in mouth (Nicky), to do our daily "perimeter check" of the property. We need to make sure no pesky raccoons are sleeping in the greenhouse and that our garden is still intact!

and there's the rake, right where I left it two days ago :)

the tiny newborn tomatoes are holding their own in the garden

the greenhouse is being put to good use this year: basil, tarragon and edamame are starting in there!

the strawberry pot.. full of charm and so far, little else!

Nicky's soft hair, incredible birds!

Perimeter Check: Mandarin Oranges & Strawberries!

Doing the "perimeter check" early this morning (walking around the garden with a cup of coffee in my hand before work :-) ...look what I found!

Strawberries had miraculously appeared despite my utter neglect of the little plants all summer, and suddenly the mandarine oranges are ready! And the pyracantha berries are already "Thanksgiving Orange"! And does anyone else love white anemones as much as I do?

Enjoy! Have a great last day of September!
