May is all about veggies, wild flowers and fruit…and more
Onion is ready. Did you know that you can cut up and freeze onion? Plant as much as you want! And here’s the cool part. Onions produce a pretty flower when they are ready. I guess I have always harvested a bit early! OMG, so pretty.
Cilantro and lettuce seeds
Time to pick them. I grow cilantro and two types of Romaine lettuce. When it goes to seed, I cut off the stalk and put them in brown paper bags. Store them in the garage through the summer out of direct sunlight

The ugly truth
One picture I showed my friends. The middle picture is the real story. Birds got to our first batch of tomatoes. So sad. But then my husband decided to try a technique we have heard about many times. He hung red Christmas ornaments on our tomato plants and peach trees. It worked for the most part! It is a little bit of a pain putting them all away, but so worth the effort.
Wildflowers and rain
This is going to be a good month. Thank you Lord for the rain
