Good news. My garden beds are booming this year. And it’s just mid-may. An ironic gift from climate change.

I call the Donkey Manure my nuclear-powered fertilizer and I think that is holding up this year.

Even mushrooms are popping up all over the wooden beds. Gladiolas,  Poppy seeds, and five different kinds of bulbs are sprouting just a few days after planting.

We got plenty of rain yesterday, and plenty of sunlight today. Our hearts go out to the drought-plagued people of the West and Southwest.

I’m moving some of the onion plants to Maria for her garden. They are growing rapidly, but I don’t want onions to crowd out any of the flowers, they are already tall and with deep roots.

I’ve started watering every day and plucking out mushrooms and maple tree seeds. Everybody wants in if you are a seed.

I predict a lot of flowers this summer for our farmhouse and friends.
