Enough with the rain

Mother Nature is making up for her deficit, I think. We just had some serious rain for all of Sunday and last night and most of this morning. Torrents, downpours, cats & dogs. I think my seeds may have drowned, but I'm not sure yet.

My daughter & I planted sugar snap peas & carrots. Well, actually, she planted them. I was not allowed to touch them, for fear that my black thumb would taint the seeds, thus preventing them from growing. I did help her building a rather flimsy trellis, though.

I scattered some wildflower seeds (once they are cultivated, are they still wild?), but I ran out of seeds well before the end of my flower bed. And it's possible that they may have been washed away at this point.

My husband had a little fit when we discussed where to plant the corn. According to my daughter (and who am I to disagree?), corn cannot be planted in a box, it must be planted in the ground--it needs lots of room. But he doesn't want to plant things anywhere but in the box. He carried on about the berry bushes over there and the veggies there and the flowers there--doesn't he realize that it would look bizarre (and lopsided) if everything were in the same place? All the plants need different amounts of sun, blah, blah....

It's not as if he's the only one who mows--he just happened to do it last week.

Speaking of the berry bushes, I really need to get some netting if I want to get berries this year.
