will the garden ever happen

I have had so much torrential rain for weeks that my plants still sit in my home awaiting some sun to peep out. I think I live in a rain forest with all the wet we have had. Many friends have things up in the garden but if it does not dry out soon they will lose them to the floods. The roses seem to be doing well but then the rain is mashing the open flowers. Sadly most of my herbs from the other house did not make it and gave up and died. Despite the talking and cooing over them once outside within two weeks they gave up. Now I will be starting again to replant what I have lost.

Due to the late start I will buy plants and then plant seed to follow the first crops. It is usually warm enough long enough, to get two plantings here. If we too are not flooded out.  The neighbors have peas up and some young early lettuce. Not much else except the berry bushes are green with hints of flowers. The spring onions have already been pulled.

Rumors came to me that vVermont is still brushing off snow!

Well till next time, check out Tasha Tudor's web site it is lovely.
