I don't have my garden planted yet either... I have plants and seeds but there is still water standing in our yard and we have to use 4-wheel drive to drive to even get onto our property....and now it's raining again!

It's supposed to rain tomorrow too!

At this rate I"ll never get my garden in the ground or get to mow! May have to give up and make a container garden...

Most seeds other than cold crop (English peas, cabbage, onion,etc) can be planted in Oklahoma into late June and July and will have time to produce a good crop. Sweet potatoe plants can go in as late as June 1 and still have time to make a nice showing. Beans and okra love the hot temps too.
These weird weather changes are the pits for in ground gardens. That's one reason for making all my beds raised. They drain and warm up quicker and I can control the soil mix. Another consideration is my back and neck injuries don't let me bend over easily..I can sit on the side of the beds to do the weeding.
The cold/hot/cold/wet conditions may also affect the number of bugs in the garden....I'm seeing more lady bugs than ever before and so far have not had any potatoe bugs....hope it reduces my nemisis..the squash bug too.

Thanks for the gardening info.

I'm really considering making raised beds because where we tilled the ground is now a mud pit... I don't know how long it will take to dry out, especially since we keep getting rain for the last four weeks in a row..

Nana : So are your gardens Organic, or do you use some other method of insect control ??? I really only had 1 problem last year with the Japanese Beetles destroying my tomatoes, and squash bugs in the zuccini. I did try some organic home rededies with only marginal success. Any suggestions for those ??.
 
Did you and Gerald have a nice dinner yesterday ?? sounds like you guy's had a chance to kick back and relax a little.
