Gardening Between Rains

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Well, I have been out gardening so have not
worked on the next chapter of Harry Lorayne’s
book yet.  Our growing season is fairly short
so have to ‘make hay while the sun shines’ as
the saying goes.

It has been raining a fair amount but I have
managed to get in about 20 rows of corn,
potatoes, beans and peas.  I have also
planted about 15 hills of cucumbers, but do
want to plant more.  Today I transplanted my
cabbage and tomatoes.  Do have more tomatoes
to put in.  It is raining tonight so probably won’t
get them in tomorrow.

The farmers won’t like this rain, they have already
had enough and most of them don’t have their
crops all in yet.  My husband and I have retired
from farming this year though we will still be
living on the farm.  We have rented the land
out to a neighbour for the year so don’t have
that stress to worry about this season.

I will be writing in my blog as yard and garden
allow me.  Hope everyone in the Northern
Hemisphere has a good summer and those
in the Southern Hemisphere hopefully have
a good winter.
