Many of my (few) readers probably know that this area was devastated by a series of tornadoes last Saturday afternoon. Thankfully my neighborhood was not hit, but several of my friends and co-workers had damage to their homes. The tornado that struck downtown Raleigh was only about three miles from our house. We heard the 'freight train' and had hail, high winds and terrible rain. But, on to better things. I acquired two new pieces of yard art. The sun was a yard sale find and the other piece I found leaning against a dumpster in a parking lot! I painted the two and we hung them last week.
I've added more food to the garden this year. Here are my early spring peas, which are coming up nicely. I've also planted a dozen tomato plants, with plans to can tomatoes and make tomato sauce. I will be putting in squash, cucumbers, pumpkin and I think corn, soon. This may be the tiniest vegetable garden around!
