We've gotten a lot of rain this spring. A lot. So much so, that I haven't even been able to get out into my garden to pull weeds or add compost. But, I think the veggies have really liked the rain because while we were gone this weekend, things have sprung up!! I can see everything growing except my parsnips, which were sitting in a low spot in the garden and were saturated with water. Yesterday, we got out while the kids were sleeping and worked in the garden for about 3 hours. We pulled weeds and cultivated the soil a little in between rows, but mostly I just walked around and looked at everything.
I just continue to be amazed at the neat little rows of green and the big, beautiful looseleaf lettuce, and the sturdiness of the pepper and tomato plants. And how can a bean plant grow so quickly? It is really awe-inspiring to me! Now, what may not be so awe-inspiring is when I start having to pick slugs and other bugs off of my precious plants. They will have wished they'd found another garden to ravage.
