Cancel The Ark: Maybe Just A Dinghy

So the rain came down and down and down.  Everything drank it up – including my beds and my pathways.  It really seemed like extra rainy rain.

Garden seemed to enjoy it.  Some soil got washed off of my beds.  The trouble is that my beds are raised a few inches, but I don’t have them framed.  Once  the beds tighten up with more moisture and plant roots it should be fine.  Next year, if this layout works for me, I’ll frame the beds.  Probably.  If I’m not too fat and lazy.

Quick stroll out in the garden just now and the peas are coming up nicely.  Some chard just in front of them.  And a cat.  Sniffing around the peas to probably pee.  Shooed her away. 

Lettuce transplants look great and I tasted a leaf from one of them.  Very nice.

There is a frost warning for tonight.  Uh oh!  Looks like somebody jumped the gun!  We’ll see.  I think we’ll be okay.

So, cancel the ark.  Send a dinghy because it’s pretty much supposed to rain after tomorrow and never stop.
