I'm sure wishing this rain would stop. I'm getting anxious to be out there digging in the dirt. Beautiful day today but rain is supposed to be back tomorrow night.

What did you plant? All I have in the ground right now are potatoes and the peas you told me it was too late to plant (I wasn't doing anything else with that area and it was little effort so I figured what the heck). I have quite a bit of work to do before I can get to the tomatoes, zukes and bell peppers. I'm also going to do bush beans although it may be too late for them, too. Yesterday, our one nice day, I had to mow the lawns and work on pruning this big tree I have right next to the regular garden plot. The branches grow out over the plot thereby not allowing full sun onto about 1/2 the area. I don't get real excited climbing an 8' ladder and stretching out to saw off the limbs. Of course, before the garden growing season is over the danged tree has put out the branches and leaves. I can't keep sawing them off because the tree is right next to the plot and there's no place to put the ladder other than where the plants will be. I can't bring myself to have the tree removed. I'm moving my tomatoes this year - about 8 blocks east to my gentleman friend's backyard. He has a really nice raised bed. Hopefully, I'll have more success this year than in the past couple - lots of bush, few tomatoes.
It's cloudy again today. Supposed to rain a bit. The cotton farmers around here (and probably down where you are) are starting to get pretty worried. Ah, I do remember when my kids were young - hoping for good weather so they could get out of the house. My 16 yr old granddaughter plays softball and they haven't been able to play any games yet. Keep dry Sue
It rained today. Very nice this morning and started this afternoon. Yeah, the cotton is late getting in the ground. Right now, I have various cukes, bush beans, various squash, potatoes (my first time). Other areas have corn and tomatoes.\ I'll put a couple tomato plants in and that's it.
It's not too late for beans. They're a warm seas>
