Wet and Wild

Meaning the growth in the garden.  The showers keep coming and we get enough heat and sunshine between to encourage everything, including or especially the weeds.  The insect pests are making their annual appearance also.  Cabbage butterflies, flea beetles and cucumber beetles abound, although not doing too much damage yet.  Meanwhile the round of planting, spraying, weeding and fertilizing continues.  This is the absolute apogee of the gardening season and I grudge every rain delay which puts me farther behind.
