My Garden is in...
Yea...the NONSTOP, POURING and RELENTLESS rain has finally stopped!!! We actually have 5 days of 75+ weather and full sun before the next rain. The first day of Sun, I ran out and got my garden plants. Austin and I tore into the soil getting it ready by shoveling out the old dirt, pulling weeds, mixing in fresh Compost and Soil, and getting the plants ready. Then later that evening, Hubby and I got all the plants in the ground and the trellis fence up to keep the dog out. I'm so excited! Although all this rain, means it will be a very late harvest, if there is one at all. Late rain means a very Humid Summer, and late harvesting. Late harvesting pushes back the production into the heat of summer, and many of the veggies will burn or die. So I'm crossing fingers. This year I planted a few new ones: Red Bell Peppers Yellow Banana Peppers Artichokes Asparagus Yellow Squash Zucchini Better Boy Tomatoes Green Onions White Onions Garlic Chives Garlic I can't wait to make all sorts of yummy goodness when it starts to grow! XOXO

every year we say we're going to have a garden, and every year, we end up being lazy about digging out an area and prepping it all, and then too much of the summer has gone by to bother, and we say, "next year!" (and then we don't do it...) LOL Enjoy your gardening...
