Gardening in the Rain

Well today was our scheduled planting day. Well this weekend was scheduled for that and Yesterday we were busy getting prepared doing things like building a new SWC for our tomatoes and filling our daughters flower box with Mel's Mix. We finally made it through the last of our Vermiculite. Now when we have to plant more we will have to buy it in small packages. Last fall when we first discovered Square Foot Gardening We found a vermiculite mine not too far from us in Virginia. We bought a palet load that was over 60 Cu Feet of vermiculite. Well this weekend we finally exhausted our supply of course we did fill over 12 beds for our vegetable garden and our entire flower garden with the stuff so must have filled close to 20 beds or more. Well so after all was done yesterday we called it a day and did not have a chance to plant our seeds that we had to wait until after the LSF. Well the last spring frost for our area was around the 15th. So we were determined to get our seeds and transplants in the ground. So we did not let a little rain stop us from planting our seeds. Well we took shifts and would come in organize what we needed to plant and where then head out and plant them in our garden. Well we got a little soaked but we were able to get everything we wanted to planted. Here is a link to the layout of our garden as well as a look at everything we planted for anyone interested.
