When it Rains it Pours

The rain barrel was full Saturday morning. Charlotte got 5” of rain Sunday. Should I get another rain barrel? By mid-June, I can almost guarantee the barrel will be empty. Today the sun is trying to shine. The wind is heavy, which will dry the ground some. The sun might raise the greens from the dead.

On Saturday another raised bed was nailed together and some compost was turned. Lots of work got done in the greenhouse. Sunday nothing got done at all. Monday the sun came back out and everything was wonderful again. Unfortunately I had to work late. The pansies did get planted in the “artificial waterfall”.

The “waterfall” is a stack of concrete blocks, veneered with rocks. The blocks are filled with dirt. Pansies are planted to simulate a water fall. Blue pansies are in the center for water and white pansies are on the edge for foam. I ran out of “water” so I will have to buy some more blue pansies.
