Rain is so good for the garden but so confining for the gardener.
The question is always what can a gardener do when it rains every day. I know that I can’t go digging in the soil if it is saturated even though I really want to get going with transplanting the seedlings.
But, I can drag some pots into the barn and pot up some potatoes for a new potato growing experiment. I can clean my potting table. And, I can paint a bird house and a bench for the grandkids in the garage while it continues to rain.
Gardeners are creative folks and can figure out a way to keep moving on that to-do list!
With a hood up, my grandson and I can even walk around and see what’s growing in the garden.
A gardener has to stay positive regardless of the weather, and after a week of rain I’m positive both rain barrels are full!

After the drought we suffered through last year, I’m not sure I’ll ever complain about the rain again. Lovely pictures!

I appreciate the rain as does the garden. When the sun is shining then I’m busy in the garden digging, planting, seeding and mulching. When it rains, I am grateful for a day or two to rest my back and do some transplanting or seeding some trays with herbs. Spring renewal is the best!
