send me some of that rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta start hauling water from the river since I never got enough to fill any of my storage tanks! Used it up as fast as I caught it so its gone. forecast looks dry for next week or two. The early onions are starting to bulb too. Sweetcorn is a foot tall and last planting not up yet. (plant it in stages to get longer harvest)

Gardens are all planted.
Vegetable Garden;

Garlic will be ready to harvest soon. Had BLT's for dinner on Saturday with fresh lettuce.
Rhubarb Custard Bars for dessert yesterday!

Strawberries, Asparagus, & Raspberries;

75 new strawberry plants and only one (1) did not root. Nipped the blossoms off as required by Nourse Farms instructions.
Asparagus got off to a slow start but is still producing, though it does not touch my lips!
Seems like we took care of the Voles in the Raspberries for now. Lots of new growth on the plants.

Corn Patch: Put seed in on May 29th with an 8-10 day germination, so we should start seeing some sprouts. Need to get to the electric fence suggestions by Don and others. If all of the seed sprouts, and all of the stalks produce 2 ears, we'll have about 30 dozen ears. Wishful Thinking, I know, but stranger things have happened.
Also put our Cucumbers in this location to change things up in the Vegetable Garden. Did not have a good crop last year due to blight and a fungus of some sort.
