Rain, Rain...

The April showers seem to have missed the memo that April is over.
This is the fifth day in a row we have been having rain.

From what I can see out the windows, Swiss chard, cabbage lettuce and arugula in the pool bed are loving it.  I'm hoping that when the sun finally comes out, I'll have a huge growth spurt like Granny.

So what I have been doing you ask?
Dangerous things!!!  I've been surfing iris websites for the passed three days and imagining how I can squeeze in a few dozen new ones, dangerous thinking...

  1. We're finally getting some sunshine today after several days of rain, so I also hope for a growthspur.

    1. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some sun tomorrow. Good thing I did a bit of fertilizing over the weekend.

  2. You are as addicted to flowers and lettuce as I am to corn. What did we all do before the Internet came along? LOL

  3. Well, the temperature plummeted by 14 degrees this afternoon, it went from a lovely, sunny 75 down to 61 in just a couple of hours, and now we have a freeze warning, 31F, for tomorrow morning. It never freezes here the second week in May! Heck, it's supposed to be 92 on Monday!

    1. That sounds like the temperature variations I get here. Just consider yourself lucky that you don't get the cold air that pours over the mountain.

  4. I blame the rain. Hey, if you can't garden outside, you have to garden inside.
