In the garden late May

The strawberries are blooming

the rhubarb is taking off...soon strawberry rhubarb pie

 

peas ready to start climbing

the oregano is tasty while so young

and so is asparagus...though its growing and seeding very fast.

On the farm in late May

The towering black locusts are starting to leaf out. Everything is turning green

and blooming

and thanks to Vince

the shed has a new roof.

Preparing for bees

Ed and his grandsons put together our Warre Hive.

This hive is an extra in case we can catch a swarm or our bees swarm once they arrive.

In this hive bees can build down from these top bars. There is no comb foundation.

At least there is a home ready even if we aren't.
