This is the end of a season here. My speed bump was the last ski area in the state, crowd was kind of hard to take. It ended with kind of a fizzle for me, got kicked off the deck for drinking a beer from my backpack. A senior employee said this is it for the season but it was so good.

OK. Enough with all these pictures of snow and mountains. Brown is beautiful!

Here's what I faced the last few days of this week. My job was to rake the oak leaves off this area of soon-to-be ostrich ferns. Those little black protrusions in the middle ground are ferns. Fiddleheads are just beginning to emerge.

I counted trees yesterday. Surrounding my yard are 42 mature oaks. My arms won't reach around their trunks. They must be 150-200 years old. They drop all their leaves every year, on my garden. I rake them up in the fall and again in the spring. Wind blows them back into the garden. I rake the reappearing leaves again. Wind blows, I rake. Repeat repeat repeat.

See those oak leaves in the background? Some of the leaves I raked off the ferns went there. The rest went into three of my compost piles. I've been raking every day since I cleared out my locker three weeks ago and brought all the ski gear home to MA. I'm now a full-time home gardener. There's still more to rake elsewhere in the garden.

Eyes on the prize. Soon the brown will be green.

Anybody else garden?

Here is my blank slate. I am less artistic and more practical. I like things I can eat!

Here are the starts of this year's vegetable garden.

If things go well it will look like this in early August.
