Last night as I pulled down the covers of my bed, I found a ladybug nestled among my jammies.

Things may be looking up.....

One by one my large house plants have been making their way outside. I feel less claustrophobic with them gone plus they are all in need of some washing down which should be no problem since it really has never stopped raining here.

My garden is still empty except for the Conservation shrubs and tree seedlings I heeled in at least a month ago -at least empty of intended planting. I have some volunteer cilantro which I will take and some lillies and a garlic chive plant that just won't quit. I also let the straw from my tomatoes sprout wheat and it's grown to more than waist high. I guess it's time to cut it and use as a green mulch.

My raised bed is doing well with it's small rows of White Icicle radishes (spi-cy!), carrots, onions and shallots. That and my whiskey barrel are doing fine with the rain.

More later....
