Enough rain already!! We certainly have not had to water the garden for several weeks. Unfortunately, the plants also need sunshine! Bert has been keeping an eye on the plants and the focus has been more on fungicides and slugs. Today, the sun actually came out for a few minutes, so I put my old sneakers and slogged out to take some pictures. The grass is so tall my ankles were soaked in minutes!
I’ve pulled the first round of radishes and replanted. The first batch were yummy, but a few were a little spicy. The second planting is doing well.
I cut the Black Seeded Simpson lettuce a few days ago and we’re enjoying it in salads. The other lettuce is ready to eat. When I replant, I’ll stagger the plantings so it isn’t all ready at once!
The onions are crazy. We’re pulling them as we need them.
The small tomatoes…called Raindrops…are doing very well. They will be great in salads!
On my way up the hill to the other garden, I stopped to check out the pumpkins Bert planted by the wood pile. The fence seems to keep the rabbits away.
Up in the garden on the hill, the lavender stems are filling out.
The tomatoes are making flowers so there’s hope tomatoes will follow!
We can finally see the carrot tops! I was sure they had drowned!
Yay! We have bean plants!
Bert had to buy more zucchini seeds, but finally we have plants.
My beloved Echinacea have spread to fill up the space! Lots of potential flowers…and one daring to open all alone…for now!
I was outside for about 20 minutes…and then it rained AGAIN! And then the sun came out about an hour later…for a few minutes and it rained again. Geez!
