Today, I came home from work to find an enormous flock of robins in the yard, savoring the buckthorn berries and picking seeds from the beds nearest the southern wall of the house. I only managed to photograph one before they flew away. The buckthorn is an evasive weed tree, but I'm glad to see it used for a good purpose.
Sighting: the first robin of the year!
Fresh salad is a reality again, in more than small quantities. Mache and claytonia, two mild salad greens, are the stars of winter salad, not only surviving, but thriving in frigid temperatures (in the protected climate of the hoop house, of course).
Mache, in the hoop house, of course ....
and claytonia ("miners lettuce).
