What did you do in the garden today?

Well CRAP.... Just walked down to the garden. About half of the corn plot was washed out....

Gauge says we had 5 inches of rain.

On the flip side, ducks are having a heyday in the water streaming through the pasture.

I did not get anything planted yesterday but I will today. watered yesterday. Still watering.

Sitting with the chicks while I wait to move the hose.

My determinate potato tubers that I grew in grow bags were all near the top. It's like the bottom half was wasted, so on my next grow I will use less potting mix.

If I’m correct I believe you’ll find that the new potato tubers will only grow above the newly planted seed potato. Deeper planting is better with hilling as they grow. Of course the hilling, or topping off of soil above the spuds also keep the sun away. I have, however, been wrong before……just saying.

Today everything, with the exception of the sweet potatoes, is in the dirt. As usual the beets are fighting me but everything else seems to be ok. Our Charlotte strawberries are about ready to explode into a bumper crop and the blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries are rocking along. Won’t be long before bird protection will need to be put up.

Doesn’t that just torque your chain?

Par for the course these days....

Didn’t have a flood wash out our new plantings but I did find a bunch of the newly planted beans had pushed themselves out of the soil as they were germinating. Every year it seems like it JUST has to be something.

Clouds moving in and rain coming later. Rain next 3 days. Can't catch a break. My native columbine is starting to bloom. Other columbines getting close.
