Rain finally!



Category: weather report | Posted: Sat May 20, 2006 6:07 pm

Who knew I'd be excited for rain in May here....but, I am. Watering 3 times a day was getting to be difficult. I also didn't get much done when it hit 80 & above.

Got another couple rows of seeds planted in the veggie garden & 2 of the 4 tomatoes in the gound.

Have a holding area full of the free plants that I'm hoping to get in today, tomorrow & Monday. My young man comes this week end and he's pretty good on the end of a shovel. Some of the ornamental grasses have huge root balls, so we need some hefty size holes dug...

Radish seedlings are up, seemed like I just planted them. Hoping the timing works out to have lettuce to trim when the radishes are mature. I've actually planted these 2 crops in the shade this year, as I haven't been too successful the last couple years. It got too hot and things bolted almost before I could mix up some salad dressing!

I'm having difficulty finding local plants & seeds for my veggie patch. Wondering if gardening is going to be a lost art too?? Always think I should have been born about 50 years earlier, as the things I like to do are going out of fashion these days!

Back to work, it's a great day to be in the garden!

I very much doubt it. It will always be around. And as long as there are sites like this we can keep it alive in the high tech world! :)

We're supposed to be in the middle of a drought here in the UK, with hosepipe bans and suchlike, but we've had nothing but rain for the past couple of weeks!
Gardening is very much in fashion over here, nowhere more so than with the good old BBC (as we've mentioned elsewhere). Their website is really excellent and the following link particularly handy - a plantfinder site.
