Quite a lot of the garden's been planted.
There a couple of nice rows of potatoes already peeking through. The peas are up, but spotty in places. The lettuce is doing well and should be ready for thinning this week. Gale is obsessed with planting lots of onions and only deferred another row yesterday because of the wet soil.
There are 4 cabbages and 7 tomatoes being protected by Walls of Water, and Brussels sprouts are ready to go in when the soil dries out.
I think I finally see the beets and spinach peeking out. Gale planted corn a week ago Sunday - 4 rows - and another row on Tuesday. It's Ambrosia again, the best corn I've ever eaten.
This year Gale has a few packets of Ruby Queen corn. Yes, it's a red sweet corn. Not sure about that one, but I'm always up for an experiment.
The garage is coming along nicely. The south side (the one without a finished roof) looks rather good and the garden bed there is almost finished. The west side is mostly painted and about 1/3 of that bed is done. Have to get cracking on the rest of that bed and then it's the north side. Of course, the east side with the garage door is going to be the worst, since it'll have to be completely rebuilt - AFTER the car vacates. Yes, I'm going to have to turn into a nagging harpy to get Gale to address that issue, but a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do.
