It has seriously rained all week long. Every single day. Non-stop rain. It's very frustrating. I feel like I haven't enjoyed any of the spring flowers because they've been rained on for the last two weeks and most of them (daffodils) are about spent. I have 'toured' the property daily to check the progress of things. It's very relaxing to just take 5-10 mins and circle round the house to see what's popping up--- even in the rain.
It looks like the veggies I've planted are going to be fine. They seem to be holding their own. It should be drying out over the next couple of days and I'll be happy to see the puddles of mud and water disappear from the garden. The peas are sprouting, but they need the sun to come back out.
The rose I transplanted hasn't kicked the bucket yet. It actually seems to be doing alright and the rain is probably wonderful for it because it's root system needs to re-establish itself. I've been eyeing some rose plants in the [url=]http://www.jacksonperkins.com... & Perkins Catalog[/url] and thinking about adding to my meager collection. I had no idea how to take care of roses when I moved in and managed to kill two beautiful plants that first year. Now, I've learned a bit and feel confident that I can take care of them... or at least keep them alive.
The suns coming out this afternoon! Yay! This weekend should be beautiful. Of course, I have a wedding to go to that is going to consume the majority of my time. Figures! :lol:
