Outside the Garden Fence

It’s spring and there Molly has been busy getting the garden ready, removing honeysuckle from the fence, and planting. Outside of the garden fence is a slightly different spring. The woods surrounding the garden are green again and filled with songbirds.

There isn’t a clearly defined edge between garden area and woods. Often the grass diminishes, plants and bushes appear. Sometimes there is a pine log that forms, for a space, a kind of boundary. This is looking southwest, toward where the large pines grow that shade our solar panels in winter for part of the day.

The garden area space between garden fence and woods isn’t regular. There are islands of growth. There is a huge mass of raspberry bushes just south of the garden fence. The bushes are filled with blooms and there will be berries for the birds and us in early July.
