The Sun Is Out Again!

Posted on May 22, 2006 at 11:40

We have had so much rain where we are...I haven't been able to plant my garden because it's just been pouring every day!

I'm hoping the sun lasts for the next two days so I can finally get out garden planted.

I bought a new cookbook called Simply in Season by Mary Beth Lind, it's great!  It gives you recipies for each season to use what you're growing in your garden or what you can find at your local farmers market.  We've always grown rhubarb (comes up every year with no effort) and never have used it, so in my new cookbook there's a recipie for Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam and it sounds pretty easy.  Today I'm going to pick up some Mason jars and probably make the jam tomorrow or Wednesday.  If all goes well, then we'll make more when it's strawberry season here and we go and pick at a local farm as we do every year.

My seedlings that I was growing inside aren't doing too well.  I'm worried about them.  I just put them out today for some sun.  I had them out when one of our rain storms came and they kinda drowned.  :(  I'm hoping they'll be ok.  I had ordered heirloom tomatoes and I'll be sad if I have to go to the local farm and buy regular old tomato seedlings because I killed mine.   :(
