Gardens, Raw Nature

 Here goes the outside garden again.  It's been a late start due to the cool spring we've been having but some things are coming along. 

Purple sprouting broccoli, chard, artichoke, little onion sprouts in the bare patch, salad turnips under the cloth and peppers under the red tents

 

Lft to rt:  radishes, arugula cilantro  Back:  strawberries, asparagus in the bare place - this is a new crop to me and takes several years to produce viable stalks. 

Camas in the park

The indoor garden continues to thrive and produce.



 Not for the faint of heart: 

The other morning I caught some movement outside out of the corner of my eye and as I looked up I saw an eagle flying with deliberation in my direction clutching a twitching baby heron in its claws accompanied by the usual escort of very upset and vocal crows and seagulls. 



It landed on the roof of the building next door and proceeded to dismember that hapless heron and devour it. 

That's how it goes.
