So, June 22nd and we are pushing 6" of rain for the month and almost rain everyday. Interestingly the sump pump in the basement has only just come on in the past two days so the water table must've been very low.
Of course, getting into the garden to plant seedlings and generally work has been nigh on impossible. Some of my seedlings are rotting in pots becuase of all the excess moisture in the air - we need a good few days of hot sun to dry the poor blighters out or I am at risk of losing all my lupine seedlings - they seem to be the most sensitive.
So this weekend I took on the projects that I could: finished building my custom raised bed (I have to admit it looks sweet!), planted out last of my seed packets - mainly wildflowers and natives - mowed the grass (Front is looking the best yet since I went organic) and tarted up part of Bob's patio by putting stones that come up in the garden around the euonymus.
Slugs or some critter is massacring the eggplant - I might have to get some of that finely ground stone to put around the plants to keep them off - but I noticed with excitement that the zuccini seeds have sprouted.
