Rain just wont stop here in mid-Missouri.
We have ten asperagus plants now beginning to sprout but don’t have them in the garden.

Otherwise, our tomato and pepper plants are doing very well. The sprouts are about six inches tall. Wife and I will be transplanting in a day or two...

That’s where I am, Ozarks and yes, the rain is stopping me from getting all kinds of stuff done. I need to finish up my perimeter fence but the holes, half as deep as they need to be, are full of water. I’m managing to flip the sod in my garden area on occasion but that’s only 2-3 inches. Can’t work it deep. Need to pick up some compost from St Louis Compost but they don’t keep it covered and it’s so heavy now, I’d have to make 5 trips. Once it’s dry, I’ll be able to do it in two trips. Need to burn off the leaves in some places but they’re always wet.

Just got mater/pepper seeds and need to get those going for later transplanting. Onions sets need to go in now. I can cover with leaves or make plastic tunnels if it gets cold.

Ditto over here in Missouri. We have mounds of red clay waiting for the right weather to put in the forms and footing for the basement/root cellar under the to be constructed storage building.

I’m posting these two seedling photos for Eric in the Ozarks who will be along shortly to describe them. Lady Bender and I are behind in our garden planning as she was scheduled to have surgery on her hip this morning 3/23/20 but it was canceled about noon yesterday…
