Rain, Rain, Go AWAY!

Come again in June, July and August! It always seems that we can never get the rain when we need it and when we get it, it is too much. If it wasn't for our high tunnels, I would have very little planted this year. It has been very wet or, back when it was dry, our schedules or my injury didn't allow much planting outside. So I thought I would share what is growing inside and out.



Inside: We have tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, zucchini, pickling cucumbers, slicing cucumbers, lettuce (4 types), spinach, beets, swiss chard, carrots, hanging baskets of tomatoes, and tomato, pepper, cucumber and squash transplants.



Outside: Hail damaged broccoli, potatoes, radishes, cauliflower, leeks, onions, spinach, beets, beans and carrots(if they came up!)

What needs to be planted: Green Beans; Okra; Lemon, Dragon's Eggs, Armenian, and Slicing Cucumbers; Bell Peppers; Hot Peppers; Purple Cauliflower; 10 types of Squash; a few more tomatoes; lettuce; and more beets.

When the weather straightens up, we will be very busy. The good news is that school is out next week and I will be allowed to dedicate more time to the garden.

Rain, Rain, Go AWAY!
