Someone do a rain dance, please
We haven't had any appreciable amount of rain this month. My seedlings are
this - | - high and staying there. The ground is so hard I have to use a pickaxe to transplant stuff. I'm watching the forecasts but the promised weekend rain looks to be getting less and less likely. Someone do a rain dance or tell me how to do one. I'm thinking that our Black Spring is going to be followed by a Toasty Brown Summer. |

I got to camp in the rain with my daughter's Brownie troop. Cheryl |

(Translation: we've only heard the tornado sirens once.) I wish this house still had its well set-up because I'm sure not watering anything at the prices of water in this town. Send the rain to me. Do your Send The Rain Thataway rain dance, please. |

Cheryl We went through a 24 day stretch end of April to mid May with no rain (Cheryl, you got it all, I think!), last week through the weekend we got drowned. I do wish it could be a bit more even. Rain twice a week, 1/2" or so, starting at midnight and ending around 4 am would be nice! -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

There is some mulch from last year but I was waiting for a little more height on the new plants to mulch this year. |

I hate that race car stuff. |

There is some mulch from last year but I was waiting for a little more height on the new plants to mulch this year. I meant during the Winter and early Spring. I probably don't need to tell you, that mulch holds in the moisture and encourages the worms to do your tilling, leaving your soil all soft and fluffy (sort of). I'm learning this all too slowly but, it even slowed down my previously raging gastropods (painful they were too). Take care of your mulch and your mulch will take care of you;-) - Bill Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) |
