It's that time again...

See that bit of red in my garden

 that the garden gnome and I are all excited about?

Yup, it's my first tomato for the season.

I know it's still a little green but I am not taking any chances

that I may have to share it with some greedy little worm.

Do you see this warty shell towards the bottom of this photo?

It looks like a crocodile.

I threw an old squash in my garden last season as

my lone attempt at composting, ha...

where it sat all winter freezing and rotting away.

I am excited to see the seeds from it have sprouted 

and I may be picking squash this fall.

I also have assorted pepper plants and brussel sprouts

growing in my little raised garden. ~b
