Looking back at former blog entries, I noticed much talk of storms and clouds and rain. Am I obsessing, or do we really have that much rain in this area. The last several weeks it certainly seems so, for every day I think of weeding the flower beds, it’s either pouring at the time or the earth is so soggy that I would ‘mire up’ to my knees if I made an attempt at getting out. So rain, rain, go away…please!
I have a tendency to move plants around. A lot. So much so that my friends tease “all your plants probably wish they could run away when you walk out the door.” Moving plants slows the growth, since with each new location the roots must take hold first. Therefore, with rain like we’d been having, the weeds are far larger than the plants I keep moving around. But alas, until the rain actually holds off, what’s a girl to do? I’m sure all gardeners are having the same dilemma, but I needed to vent my frustration. By the time I am able to work in the yard, it will be too hot, I’ll be ready to sit in the air conditioning and read, and the mosquitoes will be waiting to eat me alive if I even stick my nose out the door. Perhaps, I’ll just learn to love maple tree saplings and chickweed.
