Life in the Garden of Eden

I love spending time in the Garden of Eden these days...thankfully no snakes so far this year.   The garden's grown a lot in the past month...it's gone from baby to young adult stage.  Best of all the tomatoes are starting to turn red.  They're not quite juicy ripe on the vine yet...but almost!

Here's a video of the pictures we took yesterday.  I hope you enjoy it.  The garden is about 20 x 40 feet with 4 raised beds and the rest planted in the ground.  Straw covers the paths and keeps the weeds and mud down.  We planted way too many cucumbers.  We eat cucumbers with every meal but breakfast and give them away whenever we get a chance!  I love picking the vegetables.  It reminds me of an Easter egg hunt with brightly colored eggs.  

We have a family of baby bluebirds in the box near our garden.  I looked in 2 days ago and the birds were actually hatching out of the eggs!   It was so amazing.  I took a couple of pictures of the 4 baby bluebirds yesterday when they were 24 hours old.  They're so cute and their pictures are at the end of the video.

The video is sort of a walk from our tiny pond at the bottom of our back porch steps, past the herb garden and into the Garden of Eden.  Let's go!!
