Planting in the Drizzle

Took advantage of this evening’s drizzling rain (which was a heck of a lot better than the downpours we have been having), to at least plant the flat of green peppers we had started.  Got all those into one row, plus the couple of vegetable plants we had bought over the weekend.  Sammy hoed half of row of onions while Tina planted – then it started pouring again.  (Rain, rain, go away….)  But, all this rain does wonders for the flowers, poppies are blooming and irises are just about to pop open:

Rainy May Day Makes Garden Thrive

A soft misty rain was falling most of the day, making the newly weeded flower beds and garden patches look great.  Potatoes are up, cherry trees are blooming and the newly planted chambourcin grapes definitely had bud-break:

Flower beds are thriving in this weather, can’t wait to get some annuals into the mix for some more color:
