Yard

• Grass wants mowing yet again. Rain does make the grass grow, if only it would stop long enough to dry out.

Pots

• Pansies from last year doing great!
• Lemon tree that I thought had died over the winter is sprouting from the base!
• Potager seedlings are being munched by snails and slugs.

Salad garden

• Nothing happening; needs lots of work. 

South Forty

• There are five burnt orchids below the birches, where I think there were 8-10 last year. Ed found another below the walnut tree as he was mowing.
• A deer has been munching the quetsch plum. Apparently deer have a special fondness for plum bark. We put some wire around both plums this morning, and hope the deer don't move on to the pears and apples. 

Potager

• The wild strawberries are doing great. Nothing else going on.

Entry

• The clematis is trying to climb, and is blooming.
