June 6, 2011 Looking to the garden from the living room window toward the shop.
my garden through the trees. the strawberries are blooming in standing water, and the rest of the garden isn't much better. The volunteer dill loves it, tho!
My garden is usually planted in the last half of May. Much earlier than that, and it can freeze. We water with underground soaker hoses put in with the tiller. We then plant on either side of the hoses. It works great, and the guys put the hoses down, we get the whole garden planted in short order, working together. We do this after the guys are done seeding the crops in the fields.
This year we are about a month behind the normal schedule as far as the seasons and also seeding. Even if the guys were done with the crop, my garden has been pretty wet to work the ground. The strawberry patch hasn't been dry yet. Weeds everywhere! I have the seeds ready to go, tomato and pepper plants are in the shelter of the garage.
Update: June 10 - Warren took advantage of a bit of dryer weather and tilled the garden, It was still too wet to be planting real well, but he got the underground hoses in and corn planted before we stopped to spend the evening with our favorite little girls. :) I got the rest of the garden planted the next day. whew!
another picture of our yard in the rain. Green as Ireland!
Warren found a rather large mushroom.
