FINALLY SOME DRY WEATHER!......


Hopefully the cool and wet syndrome we are in is about to change. We may even have a few days in a row without rain! As you can see the back daylilly garden is in full swing and the vegetables are growing nicely.

AND THEIR OFF!.....

Here is my zuchinni plant about two weeks after planting. With such a cool wet Spring, I didn't expect the growth to be as good as usual.

EARLY JUNE...


I have been neglecting my blog! Here is a photo from early June. The vegetables are growing nicely. Hoping for less rain and more sun but doesn't look like the new "pattern"! As I said before I REALLY appreciate how wonderful last Spring was! In 1972 when I grew my
first organic garden, the Spring was very dry. I remember making "irrigation channels" along the rows to water the garden with the
hose. A few days later hurricane Agnes hit. AGHGHGHGH! The whole backyard was underwater! I remember being so proud of the
32, yes count them, 32 tomato plants I grew from seed in paper dixie cups up in my bedroom window. Most survived the storm and we
had TONS of tomatoes!!
