Harvested Spinach, Planted Flowering Trees and Poppies and Good News!!

Beautiful and flavorful spinach was harvested today. Our first harvest resulted in a Spinach and Feta Matzoh Pie. I found the recipe from http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipe/spinach-and-feta-matzoh-pie

Redbud, Rose of Sharon and a Tulip Tree were planted on the east side  of our property. In particular, the Rose of Sharon will invite more Hummingbirds, which we enjoy.

Good News! Mrs. Robin has returned to her nest. Now there are four eggs.

No Wasted Space.

I have flower boxes on the back porch. The flowers will go in later. Meanwhile, rather than letting the boxes go empty, I planted arugula and kale (The seedlings are three weeks old). The cool weather is a plus for greens and the plants are attractive.
