Gardening update

Along with the obligatory barbeque and driveway fireworks, I was able to survey the damage from recent heavy rains on the garden.  It's not pretty.  The heavier soils remain waterlogged and unworkable which will start backing up plantings.   Most of the brassicas planted before the rain in the  Ultra secret garden are suffocating in the mud and more rain is predicted Friday and Saturday.  I still have some well drained soils to plant in the meantime, but it looks like it will be August before some soils will be workable again, even if it doesn't rain at all for two weeks.  As the Divine Mrs. M said, it's a good thing I still have a day job!
