Sorry, Blue Witch. I know you were trying to get people to plant lettuce, but the first seed that went into my newly refurbished raised veggie bed was spinach, closely followed by Long Island Mammoth Dill.
I had intended to start my planting on Saturday afternoon, but I was overcome by a bad case of couch slothism. The day passed, and as it did, a storm front moved in. I was kicking myself around for having missed the perfect opportunity to get those seeds planted. It rained all Sunday, and was still raining this morning.
I came home from exercise and made my bed, watered the houseplants, started a load of laundry and completed assorted other chores. As I puttered around I realized that some of the clouds had parted, and we were getting SUN! I grabbed my gardening bucket and the seed packets, and made a bee line for the veggie boxes. I was planting the second row when DH drove up. “WHAT are YOU doing home??” “We were rained out.”
I looked around me, and wondered where he had been working that they had missed out on this wonderful sunny day.
The clouds have come and gone several times today. We may get a few more storms tonight, which won’t hurt those seeds at all, but they will be confused. We’re going to go from the 40s to 80 on Friday!
So, Blue Witch, I’m going to start looking for lettuce seeds, but I’ll hold off on the planting for a while.
