This has been a difficult spring to work the garden. It seems to rain all the time (we just had 10 straight days of rain), and it's been pretty cool. Tonight the weatherman is calling for frost and freeze warnings. Our potatoes are about 6" tall, the peas have been slow at starting and Zip replanted 1/2 of one of the rows yesterday. I planted three hills of dahlias, and 177 gladiolus bulbs. I still have a few hundred baby glad bulbs that I'll tinker with this year so that MAYBE next year they'll be big enough to flower.
So far we've cut 36 lbs. 4 oz. of asparagus this year. I finally started freezing some and have put about 12 lbs. of it in the freezer.
The strawberries are looking wonderful, hopefully we'll be able to protect them from any potential frost damage tonight.
Our lilacs are in bloom right now and their fragrance is wonderful - hopefully the rain will stop for a few days so that I can enjoy them!
