Picked my first zucchini today. And the first real harvest of green beans. Have been picking the lavender flowers to dry this week and the hot weather crops are beginning to grow. Should have cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers soon. We have a few families of birds living in the gardens. A robin made a nest on the drain spout of the house and it is on it's second round of providing a nest for babies. The ones in there now are starting to ruffle their feathers; getting ready to learn to fly. Another family of dove are hanging around in the herbs and the whole family was sitting on the fence the other evening; mother feeding and hugging the two babies on either side of her. Chased a big buck deer out of the garden the other morning--he had a nice rack on him all covered in velvet. Pretty sight, but not in my garden!
