Grow Little Tomatoes (and Basil), Grow!


I really like my little greenhouse! Let's hope my tomato plant and basil don't "cook" inside it.  It was 75 today -- but back down to a low of 30 by Saturday.  My only question was whether to plant my strawberries inside the greenhouse or outside...  Inside will keep the birds and bunnies from eating them (I hope), but outside will let the bumblebees polinate them.  Any gardeners out there with advice?

Signs of Spring at Hoover Park


Skunk cabbage poking up.


A pair of mallards.


Red twig dogwood... sorry, no bluebird on the bird house, though I sat and waited for him to make an appearance.
