My tomatoes are doing well but I bet it will be well after the 4th of July before any get ripe. That's the boat a lot of people will be in since it was so wet here during May.


Back in February when Andrea and I went to the raised bed farmer's class, he sent us away with some raspberry bushes. I heeled them in my garden since I wasn't sure when we could get them in the ground at the farm. Before I knew it, they had set flowers in May and fruit really quickly after that. Not a bad set either for having been treated so shabbily.
Let me tell you, having a ripe raspberry or two every morning is a sweet experience. I may have to conveniently forget I have them planted here.

After the rain we had yesterday, I'm thinking more and more about terracing my garden. Seriously. At least through the middle dividing it into two parts.
Yesterday it rained 3.44 inches and my soil has eroded downhill. My yard slopes moderately but in years past, the garden has never had this much rain to cause movement.
