A gardening first

For the first time ever, I have a fall garden. Okay, it only consists of beets and peas, but it's a start.

 It's exciting to be watching for sprouts again, and I hope that whatever chewed up the peas this spring doesn't come back.

The rest of the garden is doing well. I'm still waiting for peppers to ripen.

These two plants are covered with peppers, so it shouldn't be too long before I have enough to make some salsa. You can't tell from the picture, but I'll be buried in tomatoes pretty soon.

The garden August 7th

Today's birds: blue jay, mourning dove, sparrow, cardinal, white breasted nuthatch, chickadee.
