Ah, rain! Drat starlings!!

Finally, some much needed rain.  The garden is doing well, but we've been dipping into the rain barrels a lot to water.  So it is nice that mother nature has lent a hand by watering the garden and replenished the rain barrels.

The strawberries are so happy and the yield is high, but!  It seems that starling like strawberries and know when they are at the peak of perfection.  Now, I don't mind sharing, but the problem is they just take a peck or two then move onto the next berry, take a peck or two and repeat.

I could net, but I really don't want to.  So we'll just monitor and decide if any action will be taken.

The peas are coming up, the onions are plumbing up, the horseradish is going crazy, lettuce is ready to be harvested, and the spinach has gone to seed.  Wow.  We will plant tomatoes and cut and come again zinnias on E3 Friday!
