Monday Garden Musings

It is fairly quiet in the garden these days. After the cold snap, everything took a hit. I like this time of year because it isn’t so overwhelming. The grass doesn’t grow 10′ in a day and the vines aren’t trying to suffocate each other. It’s more relaxing.

A little bit more reverse lens technique for some closeups:

I’ve been enjoying these garden blogs lately:
Chiot’s Run
The Inadvertent Farmer
Fennel and Fern: they have a blog but it appears their site is down at the moment.

A little weeding did me good this afternoon. A turn in the garden is what I need to do more often.
