It has been raining for three days. Yesterday and last night, pretty steady and hard. We have a small stream running through our backyard from the property line where the water collects. Bad news for the plants and shrubs planted there. Especially with three nights of freezing temps coming starting tonight.
We haven't been to the farm but Ira sent an email confirming what we thought, the rains have again been washing out the rows. There hasn't been time to put in a ditch/furrow to divert the rain yet so it was to be expected. I am not happy, but I am not going to get upset about it. I wonder if it is sign that we aren't supposed to be doing market this year?
I continue to plant more seeds, mainly flowers. I have so many varieties I got through the Piggy Seed Swap that I feel compelled to try and grow at least a few of everything. I am having damping off/mold issues this year, something I rarely have. Cinnamon and peroxide have been added to the routine. Most all the brassicas have germianted, as well as artichokes. No rhubarb yet and I used all my seeds so I may be out of luck this year because I am not going to order more seeds!
I need to start my peppers this week. And maybe a few tomatoes. I was trying to hold off on tomatoes for a bit longer this year. Why do I always get the feeling of being behind?
Today I will transplant some of the seedlings that have germinated in vermiculite. I want to try and stay ahead of the game there, but there are probably 1,000 or more snapdragons, so staying ahead may never be possible!
