It’s still quite soggy here in Central Missouri. Far too wet to work the soil in the garden. I set out some hazelnut and persimmon tree saplings that Dad got from the state nursery, and replaced the sweet cherry that croaked during last summer’s inferno. Potatoes are starting to come up. Beets are up. Garlic is rocking. Think I’ll hit the nursery on my way home this afternoon and pick up my tomato and pepper plants. The stevia and English tyme is ready to set out but it’s supposed to get cold again later in the week so I’m going to wait on that. Picked the first mess of asparagus yesterday.

You are way ahead of me. Course, we are in the Ozark Plateau area that means our climate is more like Northern Missouri rather than central.

We’ve had so much rain, Hubby hasn’t been able to set up the swimming pool we bought for storage of water. We need it to be dry enough to deliver some dirt to help level out the area where it will be located.
