Rain started here at 2:00 or so. It has been going ever since. It made me even more tired that I usually am. I got the tomatoes in the other day. DH thought we had enough in at the first row. I got him to do the second with me, then I finished the third by myself. 40 tomato plants total. I have 53 pepper plants to get in too if it ever dries enough and if I ever get out to do anything more than rush through chores. The onions and potatoes are coming along but back-filling needs to be done. Again, if the dang ground with dry enough. The cabbage family is coming on after the seeds took forever to germinate in the ground. I started some inside too and they should got into the ground this week if I can get out there. I still have more onions to put in, and everything else. I guess I will skip peas since it is too late and the aphids will dessicate them before they fill in. I have never gotten them in as early as they should be, but after Memorial Day is a waste, the hot weather just attract too many pests to them.
We have a BOATLOAD of strawberries coming on. I will have to advertise to sell some this year if my daughter doesn't go out and gobble them all. I think that is unlikely since we have about 200 plants now. LOL The blueberries were coming on too, last I looked.
My husband had murderous thoughts tonight when he drove down the driveway and notice his artichoke plants I started for him were eaten off by cottontails. If they didn't eat the crown of it, they might grow again. I doubt it though. His hops are growing like crazy and he has them all trellised nicely. Now, to figure out how to harvest those things. Anyone have a cherry picker to loan us?
