Spring is here and I hope you are enjoying the blossoms and longer days. Mindy and I have been busy at our new home. We planted some lettuces, chard, mustard, spinach, kale, peas, as well as basil, parsley, and catnip! (Mindy liked eating the catnip at first, but now is not interested. 
). I have an Armenian apricot tree that is full of tiny fruit. The lawn needs mowing, but this morning I went and discovered the grass is full of ladybugs. So I’m putting off cutting for now! (plus I don’t have a mower yet…LOL). Mindy is busy watching the gopher holes. May your Spring be colorful and filled with flowers! 
Please be sure your property taxes are paid by April 10th and let your friends know about my presentation at the Capitola library April 13.
