MY GARDEN GROWS!

We worked all last Saturday in the yard, sprucing it up a bit in preparation for the spring rush. I even managed to get in some seeds - two kinds of beans and radishes. And here, a week later, the radishes have erupted. Some sprouts have been munched on so I believe I need to investigate a temporary cover of some sort to protect them from the birds in their initial growth spurt. We do much to attract the birds and forget they sometimes are not necessarily following a similar agenda. 

Speaking of different agendas - Obama held out his hand to the opposite party in his Saturday address, this time for health reform, and the Repubs started the immediate whine of why it will not work versus just saying it's a good start and let's build something better. Playing well together continues to be a challenge. And somehow npr found a light at the end of the tunnel in Florida noting a possible bottom in that real estate market.

I wonder if squash would work in the garden?
