The weather service is saying that this is one of the rainiest April's on record, and I believe it! There has been a flood watch for all rivers for almost a week straight now, and an end does not seem to be anywhere in sight. It is raining cats and dogs right now, which is why I have taken to the internet to catch up on some blogging.
This rain has, however, done wonders for our garden. The potatoes have just about all sprouted (minus the second week succession crop), and look as if they could handle any amount of rain that falls from the sky. I think I will thank the Mel's mix for that, along with all of the other well-drained soil we have created and put to use in the garden. I am very proud of their progress and all we need to do now is cut up the remaining seed potatoes, and find homes for them within the next week.
We have a carrot box that is coming in full force, probably 60+ altogether, which is an improvement over last year when we maybe had ten carrots total survive. Those things are so tiny at first - the seeds and the seedlings; which makes for an intricate planting and thinning process.
Tomorrow we are holding our first fund raising event - a bake sale! There will be muffins, cookies, brownies, Oreo balls and whatever else we end up getting donated. It is on Easter, and we should get some good traffic coming in and out of the property. The forecast calls for rain, but we will be out there none the less, raising funds to keep this project moving forward! Ciao!
