Slide Show Thankyou!

Dear Diggers, both big and little,

Here is a slide show from three Sundays in the garden.
Update: 2022 Google discontinued photo albums in Blogger. Sorry.


If you want to make it full screen, just double click right on the photos.
That will take you to Picasa Web Albums, and you can click on the name of the album, and then the word: "Slideshow" - Full Screen - F11.
It really looks good full screen. Sorry about the number of steps. Doh!
And yes, I did saturate the colours, just a bit.
Love to bring out the bright colours in the rain.
The photos are from three consecutive Sundays, I think.
We had a plant sale, and bake sale, and it's so incredibly fun.

Okay, yes, the birds ate the peas as they sprouted again!
Eeek.
These birds, who crowd the creekbed just a few yards away are all travelling gourmet Californian health-food types. I can just tell.
They think our island is a spa-spot on their northward migration.
They probably like alfalfa sprouts too. And wheat grass.
Anyway, they took our peas, (again!).

Sigh.
Anyway, don't look at the peas. Just send prayer.
Or hey, tiny postage-stamp-sized prayer flags on little strings could be hung about the existing peas. Follow your own inner-guru on this one. :>)

On the other hand, go down to the garden this week (map below; click on it to make it bigger) and take a big tall look at the raspberries this year! (on the farthest left when you go in the front gate. Bed 11) Holy giant raspberries, batman!




Anyway, thanks to everyone, and that includes the gardeners who appear and disappear silently, like mist on a rainy day.
The garden is just so phantasmagorical, once again.
Thankyou to everyone who makes it so amazingly great.
