The Garden (Futility?) Project, Part 2

We have sprouts!  The weather for the past week has been a bit warmer, so the broccoli, collards and spinach have all sprouted.  We’re still waiting to hear from the carrots…but since they have the longest growing season of all, I’m not sure that they’ll make it anyway.

We’ve also secured our little garden patch with some light fencing, to keep it safe from Dewey–who, by the way, has taken to finding treasures in the back hedge, including an old volleyball and what appears to be a portion of the skull of a medium-sized animal.  I’d give you more information on that one, but to be honest, I tried not to examine it very closely.  When she’s not hunting for dead things  or stray balls in the yard, Dewey can usually be found here:

On the stairs between the loft and the hallway, she can see into my office and Josh’s at the same time.  Keeping tabs on both of the humans is important, you know.  Especially if one of them should drop something edible.

At any rate, it appears that threats to the garden no longer include Dewey, which is a step in the right direction.   I’ll keep you updated on the progress it makes, especially if this results in anything edible before the first frost.
