We’ve been kind of dry for the past several days, which was a blessing, as we could plant, plant, plant. We’re pretty sore but got in more pole beans and seven 80-foot rows of bush beans. Then there were three 80-foot rows of carrots, two rows of snap beans to eat and can and an 80-foot row of Detroit Dark Red beets, our old standby. I did that while Will worked on using the chisel plow to dig up the North, Sand, Central, and finally, Wolf Gardens. He didn’t want to hit any more boulders with the tiller! The chisel plow hooks the big rocks and brings them to the surface \u2014 hopefully.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Here’s the Wolf Garden bean patch. With the inch of rain, it should pop up quickly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I had planned on planting more today, as the rain had quit in the night. But the gardens were soggy, so that won’t happen. We did get over an inch of rain, which was needed to get stuff going, though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I hope some of my friends will relieve me of at least some of my extra tomato plants, seen here in the background.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today, I’ll get some housework done (not that it doesn’t need it!) and plant a few plants around the house. Then there’s a lawn to mow. (It’s only a foot high!) Oh well, good for the pollinators, right? We’re supposed to get more rain this afternoon, but I sure hope it dries up some so we can get to planting. I feel an anxiety attack coming on \u2026 Ah, spring! Only 4\u00bd acres left to plant in a week and a half.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Gee, I guess I have to get the lawn mowed again, before more rain!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
