Baby Sparrow
July 19, 2009
We continue to see below average temperatures with above average rainfall. On rainy days garden planning continues indoors where I'm working on the final design for the vegetable garden. I've been doing a bit of research on fruit trees, grapes and chickens all of which we hope to have incorporated into the garden by next spring. Over the next few months there will be a lot of changes in that zone.
Outside we continue to enjoy a wide variety of garden visitors including this baby sparrow that still can't fly too well. If we ever get a couple of days of warm, sunny weather I should have a lot of tomatoes. Still given the rain, I don't mind waiting as long as the tomatoes don't split. The salad greens are doing remarkably well. The peas are up as well. The herbs are also growing nicely. All in all despite a late start I am quite pleased with the progress in the two raised garden beds.
Happy Gardening!

We can find a lot of sparrows here in our gardens. I love to hear their chirpping. Dainty, gentle little creatures.
ReplyDeleteCute picture of the sparrow. I've had a steady stream of them nesting in our garden. Looks like the last fledgings of the season are hatching in one of our bird houses. -Jackie
