Is the amount of rain we are receiving unusual? Or am I just impatient as I wait for summer (a.k.a. camping and kayaking weather)? I seem to remember last summer was quite wet too. The (one) good thing about so much rain is that I haven't had to water my garden very much and the vegetables are loving it! Unfortunately, I think the slugs are too. I found a couple munching away on some of my lettuce last week. But, surprisingly, most of my lettuce and other veggies remain untouched. And, no signs of any rabbits feasting on my garden (and there are plenty of rabbits out now) so my fence must be working!
The first seeds I planted back in April are growing in full force now.
Lettuce:
Nasturtiums:
Kale:
Peas:
Cilantro:
The broccoli I planted recently is sprouting:
And, the uninvited guests in my garden (besides the weeds), potatoes:
I guess the people who had my plot before grew potatoes and there were some remnants in the soil that I didn't find when clearing my plot. Their roots are deep and not always easy to pull out.
While I'm thankful for the rain (as I have barely spent any time watering), I'm now hoping for some sun to give my plants a little boost!
