First harvest - catch up

I ate two nice radishes and a pile of lettuce with my lunch today. First harvest is so rewarding, especially in May.

We are finally catching up with some rain. The barrels are full but need some height adjustments - the ground does seem to settle quite a bit under 50+ gallons of water.

One hibiscus sprout showed this week and I fear that is all that survived. We lost other perennials too.

Somebody is eating my currents while they are quite green.

Mowed the lawn on Tuesday for the 3rd time this year.

Lawn mowing

I have mowed twice already, on the 4th and the 12th. It needs it again today, the 20th, but I was hoping for some rain. Needs fertilizer too, which means cutting it shorter and timing it with rain forecasts.

I've got some catching up to do

Some posting is due.
It is prime season for planting and sprouting and the return to life in the garden, and I have done little to keep track of it this year. Something seems off...
I have pictures to keep some of it straight, but they need to be posted to be of use.
I have been working hard on the garden though, and that makes up for the lack of record keeping...
