Monday was the only day all week that it didn't rain here. Had puddles in my raised beds from yesterday's downpour, and the few bags of soil/compost I hadn't yet dumped into my beds are now 80 lbs mud bags. Oops.

I'm Lucky, I had most everything in my garden and it is doing find, Got to plant peppers and more corn then I'm done, The rain is really making things grow but we do need a few warm dry days.

I am happy for the rain! I have added some plants to my yard though. Several Rhodedendron's 2 wild ones, like those up in the mountains growing wild, with Large leaves, and get tree sized. They are local, but if you want to buy them, they are AT LEAST $35.00. If you try and dig one up in fall, they are free, but you get a small tree, with small root system, that is TINY for -ever! Or you fork over the $35.00 plus shipping $40.00 + for a 2 ft shrub, and be happy you got it at that size, and the price is fine once you realize you have a decent size shrub/tree for the price. I also got some cheap Rhodies at Lowes. Cheap but beautiful anyway's.

Me again, we are still getting plenty of rain here in south fayette county Pa. I am really glad for it, even though it is very plentiful. I am happy that I don't need to water things, wether it be trees or garden plants: Peppers and Tomatoes.
