We have not had a good rain here in about three weeks. My father in law has been watering his garden with the water hose to get by. I was really hoping it would rain last night since there was a 50 percent chance but it never did. They are forcasting a 70 percent chance of rain for Saturday.

Has anyone else put out a garden yet? My father in law plants by the farmers almanac signs. Yesterday he put out all of my herb seeds and zucchini. He has potatoes poking through the soil already. It frosted a couple of times last week hard. He covered his grapes and my rosemary but it did some damage on his fruit trees.

waaaaaay to soon for us to plant! cripe - we had snow and ice balls for 2 days last week!

we are expecting rain at the end of this week - but who knows? our weather as been strange the past couple years -

Yes it is early here but everyone is chomping at the bits to get them in the ground.
It will take a couple of weeks for my herbs to come through the ground so I hope all of the frosts are done by then.

Well we are no longer in need of rain. Roads and schools are closed for tomorrow because of flooding. It is still pouring and will the rest of the night. 30% chance of rain tomorrow so it should finally stop.

Stay dry, Janie! And keep an eye out- in case u and Jon hafta head for the hills!

I am not a gardener- though I wish to be! But I recall in our area folks rarely ever planted much until Mother's Day weekend- which is coming-up on us soon!
