I think we've skipped spring and gone right into SUMMER! WOW! The daisies have just started popping following the lilac blooms. The much-needed light rain is allowing us to catch up with admin duties and ... here we are!

It's been a flurry of activity here at BMP with classes, building, planting, ... oh ... and family celebrations mixed in! Doug's been busy with the machine shed - along with wonderful volunteers (thank you very much) and Barb's been busy getting the gardens planted with a few volunteers (thank you very much). New is the hoop house which was erected over the garlic planted last fall (un-planned yet VERY happy at 2' tall! Tomatoes hopefully will do as well along with melons, peppers & sweet potatoes).

NOW to keep the chickens out of these many gardens! Yesterday they got into the dahlia garden and in a short time up-rooted some of the tubers and new tender annuals transplanted out. UGH! Makin' peace and trying to increase garden protection.
