Soaking Rain - summer on its way

Soaking rains are here today, preparing the gardens for their next display. The weather in New England has been perfect for my plants this spring. We've pretty much had warm, sunny days with a couple of soaking rains each week.

My husband is putting in raised veggie beds for me this week. I have a few flats of vegetables waiting to go in. My daughter and I will buy more this weekend. The early veggies are growing well in my old vegetable bed and I hope we will have a crop soon. This was my first time planting early season produce.

I introduced a friend to Uncanoonuc Mt. Perennials last week. I also dug some plants out of my gardens to share with her. She drove almost an hour for the trip, digging the plants was the least I could do. Besides, one of the best things about having a garden is sharing!
