March Floods



















Drove by the garden this morning and decided to take a few pictures of the standing water. I can come back in a couple of weeks and tell which areas of the garden need to be leveled or amended. Every year it seems we have a spot in the garden that tends to flood. We build up one area and create a problem in another area. We've added leaf compost and peat to the soil, but with the clay we have in this area we still have a ways to go. I can definitely say the soil is better than when we first started. Everyone is hoping for some sunshine and warmer weather soon. For now, we have seeds started inside and just wanting for the right time to get some of the cooler weather crops planted (broccoli, lettuce, peas and potatoes. For now it looks like maybe the first of April.
