Rain, rain go away...!?
After last years drought, who'd have though that we'd be getting too
much rain this year My main problem is how can I get any planting done? I've read that you shouldn't plant if the soil is too wet, but this spring its been raining at least every other day, and sometimes for days on end. It may not always rain hard, but its raining often enough and the soil is just is not drying out. It's been like this the last 6 weeks, and for at least the next week it looks like the same. So my question to the ng is..... how can I get my planting in? Should I be patient, try meditation, and wait until it dries out, or should I just go ahead and plant when it's not totally sopping wet? I assume that it will eventually dry out, but that may not happen until we're into July. It's possible that it will be wet the whole season, although that would be a rare summer in S.Jersey. I have some perennials just waiting to move into their new homes, I haven't done all my vegetable planting, and I'm itching to be outdoors and working. Swyck |

To avoid compacting the soil (dirt) you can use a couple of planks to plant
off, I have to do this on beds of dahlias I am planting. Sounds as if you are having some good Welsh weather.the last 4 years we have had 80 inches of rain a year. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

Heat Heat go away!
It's too early in the year to be 80+ degrees around here. If I wanted to be hot I'd move to Parump. -paggers -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir!

We've had about two sunny days in the last three weeks or so. Further back now than I can remember. At least we haven't had any drought warnings.
