Busy bee

One of the Osmia Californica solitary bees has sprung from its tube and is somewhere (polinating we hope.)  Today was a busy garden day with weeding the main asparagus bed, emptying three compost tumblers of their finished compost and spreading it on the two asparagus beds and the apple/pear tree espalier.  We also rototilled the two upper beds in the main garden, weeded the "no till" bed, spread epsom salts under the roses,  and planted zucchini starts (golden and green), two different pumpkins, and four types of winter squash.  Tonight I went out and did slug patrol by the light of the moon - just kidding, the moon wasn't up yet, but I did kill slugs and snails.  All in all a very productive day!
