Each morning, I take my coffee and perambulate around the gardens to see what has come up or flowered. Callie sniffs the borders, checking where last night's visiting skunks and raccoons passed by. We added more garden space (yes, less lawn to mow) but I haven't decided what to plant there yet. We're munching our way through the first crop of spinach and lettuce, with a few French Breakfast radishes thrown in. I have a few rogue potatoes I missed last fall, sprouting amidst the Swiss chard and lettuce. I may have to dig them up early before they shade out the smaller leafy green.
