After the torrential rains, not only did our gardens get soggy but a few spots had bad washouts, little mini canyons here and there. And yes, they did wash out quite a few seeds in some spots. Because they were so wet, it took a while for them to dry out to even walk in. (I got the golf cart garden-mobile stuck in the North Garden’s main path. No, I didn’t realize it was that <\/em>wet! Will had to pull me out with the Kubota.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
This is what the washouts in a couple of our gardens looked like. Yep, we had to replant, as we could.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, they did dry out some, allowing me to re-plant some sweet corn with the Earthway seeder and plant some melons that the seeds had rotted in the wet ground, by hand. Meanwhile, Will got the last of the corn planted in the North and Wolf Gardens with the Ford tractor and two row corn planter. There were still some wet spots he couldn’t go over but we planted what we could.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Before another rain hit, Will was able to finish up planting corn with the two-row corn planter in the North and Wolf Gardens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today, I planted the last of the broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage plants and a row of Umpquah broccoli seed. One of the best harvests of broccoli I’ve ever had was from a direct-seeded row, years ago. It was too late for cabbage worms and the plants yielded lots of perfect heads and side shoots, even after frosts had come. I’m going for that again this year.<\/p>\n

Will got the potatoes hilled yesterday as it’s supposed to rain today. Again. He’s also been busy mulching various plants and rows in the Wolf Garden. Meanwhile, I managed to steal a little time and can up some on-sale walnuts and some half pints of wonderful honeyberry jam. It’s one of our very favorites! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
