Rain

I saw on the local weather report that it has already been the rainiest April ever here in Lexington. We have  had, maybe, 1-2 days between rain events here this month. The only thing I have planted in the garden are my first round of cold weather crops. Normally, I have all three rounds planted by now. I am hoping to get them in the ground soon or it will be too late for them. Cool weather crops do not handle our hot summer sun well here in this area.

Last night, we had one day between rain events. We spent the afternoon and evening quickly getting the grass mowed (along with the rest of the neighborhood) and planting a couple of plants that I could reach from the edge of the garden and flower beds. The good news is my grass seed I put down this spring is doing well. Our backyard has filled back in nicely. Chuck even mowed it for the first time last night. I then went around and put grass seed back down in the small little patches that were missed the first time around.

I am hoping we get a break from the rain soon so we can get the rest of our garden plants in the ground. It is almost time to put peppers, tomatoes and other warm loving crops out. The other good news is the little bit I did get in the ground is growing great.
