I suppose you can say the drought of 2012 is somewhat over. We've gotten rain nearly every day for the past 4 days. I estimate nearly 3 inches of rain has fallen. There is more predicted for the next 2 days but rain is usually hit and miss this time of year. Either way I am grateful for the rain we've gotten this past weekend. The garden has really responded nicely. Sunflowers showed their first blooms this weekend. Have found only one watermelon so far but it is growing like crazy and already bigger than a softball. I picked 6 squash/zucchini this morning before work. Cheryl picked several Peppers Saturday and made homemade hot sauce. It is steeping in the fridge for 2 weeks before we eat it. Lots of tomatoes on the vines but very few ripe ones. Of course with rain comes the weeds and grass. I suppose I will devote lots of time later this week hoeing weeds and cutting grass. No complaints here! I received the seeds I ordered from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co. today. I mainly ordered greens for the Fall garden. Should be planting them in late July or early August.
