How Green is My Valley: A My Town Monday Post
The weather has been good to the gardens in my valley, and Garden Henge has also enjoyed the blessings of Spring. The intense rains earlier this week and the warm temperatures have encouraged the plants and seeds to flourish. Each day is an adventure. I love going out there and seeing what has changed. I have brought a chair out to the garden, and I enjoy my morning cup of tea or coffee in the solitude of the space. Butterflies and insects abound and the majesty of Mother Nature is evident every way I look. Seedlings are emerging from the rich soil, reaching for the light.
We are already enjoying lettuce, peas and onions from the gardens. Here’s a look at what else is growing.
Travis Erwin, My Town Mondays intrepid host, will be glad to know that the rains have also brought out lots of slugs. I think that they would qualify as meat. Wander on over to Travis’ place, and you will find links to other folks’ towns all over this fine planet.

Wow! Your garden seems to have just sprung up out of the ground! Duh, of course it did. I meant it seems to have grown up fast.
I still wonder if there is any lodging in Peninsula. If there is, it would be nice to have a bit of a tour, and I could take some photos.

A superb looking garden – potting about must be great

Slugs can’t be meat. Heck with a little salt they disappear.

We use beer but maybe salt would result in less drunken slugs and more with high blood pressure.

Your garden is gorgeous with healthy plants in the sunshine. The tomatoes are coming along nicely.

A friend of mine carries a spray gun with saltwater in it and every time he sees one of the little buggers, he gives it a good squirt, which causes it to shrivel up and die. The best time to get them, he says, is after dark when they come out to eat.
