More rain and cool, but garden is growing

   Rain clouds linger this morning as the owl and a whirlybird try to keep the birds away from the ripening strawberries. We may cover them with garden netting if this doesn't work. We got 1.5" of rain in the past 48 hours which was needed and appreciated. What isn't appreciated so much is 62 for highs and mid 40s for lows for a few days!

    Right, first planting of sweet corn, to it's left, second planting, just up a couple inches. These 2 beds will ripen every 5 days or so in July. 

    These 2 pictures above show the bean row, Annialator bush beans first pic and Sweet Slice cucumbers and Fortex pole beans on the fence. We have trouble with rabbits nipping the early seedlings off at the ground, so we covered with plastic mesh garden fencing. Seems to have worked! We have seen rabbits sitting alongside trying to figure out a way inside! 

                            Looks like we'll have some thornless boysenberry production this year.

                           And the thornless blackberries look good in spite of being late this year.

    The blueberries are loaded as well. We just keep pouring on the Miracle-Grow for acid loving plants. It's the only method we've found to keep them acid enough. 

    See the 4 Kildeer eggs in the center of the picture. Another set of 4 hatched out 2 weeks ago and we thought they were done, but here's more!

                              Just finished mowing this morning when another shower moved in. 

    Yesterday was the second of this set of 3 chemo treatments. Next Wednesday will be the 3rd, then the last week of May will be blood tests, a CT scan and appointment with Dr Parikh, my surgeon, along with Dr Gian to see where we go next.

    I feel good today. My blood counts are still low and I can't gain weight. I'm eating tons of protein at Dr.'s orders, but all in all, I am good and very thankful for each new day.
