The view from the deck

 My plant tower is filling in nicely as all of the plants shoot up.

There are 3 new strawberries on one of the jars this morning.

It's nice to see the spirea and lilacs blooming. The spirea is original to the 1930's bungalow that we call home and is the mother of many of the other bushes that we've been planting here.

 
It's kind of nice to look down into the garden, watch the birds at the feeders and know that the tea table is waiting for me.

It's nice to see the progress on the strawberries and keeping them close to the house makes it easier to be sure the "criiters" don't run away with the berries.
