At long last we’re getting rain.
Not tons of it
But rain just the same.
Soft showers
Interspersed with real rain.
Throughout this long weekend.
So my gardening has followed the rain.
Starting and stopping
As the weather allows.
It’s actually nice.
Cool days
Soft soil
Perfect for weeding
And planting more seed.
So I’ve decided to run a little experiment.
Since we are having a bit cooler than usual spring.
I’m thinking I still have time to plant
Cool season seeds.
Lettuce – Arugula – Radishes – Bush Beans
I know
It’s way past time to plant these.
But I’m experimenting with a little
Micro climate vegetable gardening.
So…as I’ve weeded the edge of the garden
And along the paths
I’ve planted all of the above.
Some in sun like I’ve always done
And this year in dappled shady areas
To see if I can have fresh greens
Later into the season.
We’ll hope it works.
I’ll let you know.
And when it rained
I arranged flowers
In my friend Beth’s fun Fiesta pitchers.
And oh yes…
There was this.
While thunder rolled through the state
The Thunder rolled over the Spurs.
What a fun weekend!

P.S. I realize these pictures have nothing to do with the subject.
But pictures of seed packets and hoes just are all that much fun!
