Garden Forecast: To Wet To Plow at Miz Helen's Country Cottage


Usually by this time of the year, our onions have been planted along with our early greens, peas and potatoes, but not this year. We have had more rainfall than ever in recorded history, the ground is completely saturated and there is literally no place for it to go. Our lakes and rivers are all full and we haven't even come into the spring rainy season. When we try to start our spring gardening we just bog down in the would be rows, this year it is just "to wet to plow". 

The Seeds Were Ordered

The Onions In The Center Of 
The Tub Are Just Peeking Through

We Might Be Doing Container Gardening 
This Year
But We Will Still Hope That The Rain Will Let Up
And
The Ground Will Dry So 
It Won't Be To Late To Plow.

Made It Through The Winter

The Basil Will Be Planted Later

I Placed The Hyacinth In The Bulb Vase

    That's too bad about the wet ground, Miz Helen. Container gardening must in the works for you. Your windowsill looks so pretty with the herbs and hyacinth.
