Everything else seems to be doing well , though slow because it's been
chilly and wet . Some of my corn is almost a foot tall , all my vine stuff
squashes and melons is sprouting , and for the first time I've got
strawberries to grow . We had a part-bag of taters , looked all wrinkled and
too ugly to eat so I planted them . Might be another first for me !

yeah, it's been fairly cloudy, cool and rainy here too,
so much that i didn't want to get plants from the green-
house yet as the soil will not likely be that warm. we've
probably had about six inches of rain the past week or so.
plenty enough. the temporary drainage trench and berm
along the south got a test and worked as designed.

saw the first hummingbird yesterday visiting some
creeping phlox flowers.

sunshine and a nice breeze today, but still a bit
cool. gotta get out and get the last of the raised
bed gardens turned and then see what else i can get
done today. maybe able to do more planting... we'll
see how it goes.
