Rain
ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who makes the storm clouds. He gives showers of rain to men, and plants of the field to everyone. Zech 10:1
it's amazing how much a gardener relies on rain, it's so essential for new growth.
praying again today for rain.
I stopped by yesterday and checked on the Franklin Park plot. The pea's are about an inch tall, and I see some of the Rocky Top Lettuce mix sprouting (speckles of green on a brown canvas).
if you cant laugh at yourself.... we had an interesting adventure on Sat.
Kurtz brothers donated topsoil and leaf compost to garden projects for earth day (thank you!) the Garden Club community garden is one of them (we'll be out at 3 pm, btw).
a friend let me borrow his smaller pick up truck to go pick up the soil. we get there and realize its all loose, bulk soil. they used a front loader to dump loose soil and compost into his truck. two girls, standing, watching, in surprise, and a little afraid (the bed sank down under the weight of the soil). all the huge landscaping truck driving past, smiles and glances our way.
yes, we had no idea what we were getting into. but, it was a successful venture. and we received one cubic yard (a truck full) of free soil and compost, and delivered it to the garden.

plum tree
planted a plum tree today, right in the front. hoping the wind does not blow it right out of the ground this afternoon!
thankful for the rain, and love the thunder last night

The Pea's are in
the ground, that is, finally.
We are ahead of schedule this year! We've got rows of peas, carrots and lettuce in the ground. & flats of onions, leeks, and tomato's in my back yard. On Friday I noticed the leeks had sprouted, small, exciting signs of life! Nothing from the tomato's yet. Go tomato's go.
This past Saturday, we planted the last of our rocky top lettuce seed mix, spinach, and cabbage. The wind was really blowing and 1/2 of the cabbage seeds were blown across the soil. It'll be interesting to see where heads of cabbage end up.
Thankfully for the rain.
