I know I've been quiet lately, due to the exceptionally cool wet Spring derailing my garden plans. Today I finally was able to put in all the plants & seedlings I had waiting to go into my home plots. Up until just a few days ago, it had been raining almost constantly, to the point where the garden never dried out enough to cultivate... so I started everything indoors under lights, even the beans & soybeans. Glad to finally get them planted; I was getting close to my "drop dead" date of July 1st, when I would scrap all of the seed crops, and put in only vegetables harvested immature.
Because of the weather, it looks like my rural garden will again remain fallow, with the exception of the garlic bed. That has been impassible up until now, and is badly in need of weeding. I've never felt the need to use raised beds, and they are mostly impractical given the scale of my garden; but if this wet weather pattern continues, I may need to build some to grow garlic properly.
Beautiful! How high is the elevation there?
Just wanted anyone confused to see the difference. Still, pretty flowers, Mom always had bluebells. I love them.
so i guess i'm drinking water to that at the moment
