My garage light setup resembles that Lucy & Ethel episode. Even more tonight when stuff that’s gone out on the driveway in transplant cups has to come back inside for a night and possibly a day.

This too shall pass.

I got some Bonita sweet potato slips from Cooks Garden. Haven’t gotten them yet but they’re on order.

Have a basket at Jungs and another one at RHShumway. They’ve both got their specialty herb plants on sale and I’m going to get some Bush Porto Rico sweet potato slips from Shumway as well. I’m thinking of the Arbequina Olive at Jungs. And a couple bottles of Algoflash for good measure. I’ll probably hit ‘checkout’ on this stuff tonight or tomorrow. I just hate to get stuff if we’re going to have cold and rainy weather for a while. Mind you, I am NOT complaining about the rain. Not. Not. Not.

I’m just afraid the weather pattern will dry out like it did in ‘11 and we won’t have rain again till September. And daily temps will be triple digit. Hope not!

Yes, I am concerned about drought too. The irony is we have had too much rain to get the swimming pool set up to store the rain for use this summer.

The ground needs to be leveled, and it’s been too wet to bring in a load of dirt or do anything like that.

Our lawn never did recover from '11. Then we had construction last summer tearing it up and meaning we couldn't water and left hills and valleys. Recently, we've had a couple rains that have caused flooding and the water washed gullies through the yard. Now it's nothing but holes, bare spots and weeds so it's going to need a lot of pampering this summer. The weed and feed we put out a while back didn't seem to do anything so it's hand pulling. It's going to need some major pampering this year and a few more.
