Strawberry Watch

Last fall, herooftheage had a landscaper come in and attempt to tame the strawberry plantation back into neat rows. The good news is that, due to his efforts, there will be less weeding to do this year. However...

The strawberries are having none of this "stay in neat rows" nonsense. They are already invading the "row space" in force. So the time I save in weeding may have to made up in strawberry re-planting.

Anyone out there have a yen for your own strawberry garden? If you take some of the plants from the row space, not only will I be grateful, but you'll get some guaranteed hardy-and-determned strawberry plants :-)

Hawk Watch

As I sit at my work desk, eating my breakfast and reading LJ, I have open, in another window, the webcam of the red-tailed hawk nest outside MIT. Momma was giving he two chicks breakfast also. Only their breakfast looked bloodier.

The chicks themselves are still at the cute-and-fluffy stage, but I suspect they will soon transition to the woefully-bedraggled-and-molting stage, as more adult plumage comes in over the fluff.
