It’s been so dry lately, with storms going north and south of us regularly. Where friend, Dara, several miles north of us got an inch, we didn’t get a sprinkle. But, yesterday, it rained softly, nearly all day. We were so grateful! I did housework while Will took a much-deserved nap. I kept walking out onto the porch, breathing in that wonderful rain scent, and watching water pour off the roof and drip off my hanging baskets on the porch. We’re hoping that rain will bring on some of our earlier-planted crops of beans and corn.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed watching the rain dripping off my hanging baskets and pouring off the roof.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mittens had a nap on one of the chairs on the porch, evidently enjoying the rain, too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Will went out to the North Garden and reported that finally <\/em>much of the Seneca Sunrise and Simonet sweet corn, planted nearly three weeks ago, is starting to poke out of the soil. We were wondering whether to replant or not. I went to the Wolf Garden and could only find a few isolated spears of the hybrid, Espresso sweet corn we plant so I won’t be tempted to save it for seeds. Today, I got on the Kubota, planning on tilling the patch up and replanting it so we get plenty to can and eat, as well as share with friends. Just as I got out there, Will was walking the patch and found a lot of tiny spears, just barely poking out of the soil. Wow! That was sure a surprise, as I’d just looked, and it hadn’t come up yet. Now, all we have to do is get those big pigweed and lamb’s quarter plants out of the gardens. Big job! They love the heat. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
