The rain from Sunday and Monday gave the perfect amount of moisture to the ground. The tiller bit deep and chewed the ground and the organic matter on top of it to a perfect consistency. Today’s rain would have left the garden too wet to till. It should leave the lawn in perfect condition for aerating and seeding. It should also go deep enough to facilitate trans-planting trees or shrubs. It should also cool the soil.
The plants in the garden looked really happy yesterday. They were obviously getting really tired of city water. They enjoyed the long cool drink. They are enjoying another drink today and maybe tomorrow. The ground will be too wet for building new beds for several days, so this will be a good time to work on the lawn and transplant some trees.
As soon as the soil is dry enough to work spinach and lettuce should be planted. It may grow fast enough to be picked while there are still tomatoes and cucumbers.
