So I have plants set out - tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and peppers - but I'm wondering if any of them will grow or simply drown. It's rained almost every day here for the last month! Luckily the temperatures have always been above 60, so it's warmer just WET. <br /><br />I also regrouped and replanted the herb garden - and all this in the mud! <br /><br />By the way, you and I have the same patio chairs! The ones with the flat backs and bottoms. I like your caned ones too. Very nice.Mountainwordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011071025161667391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-29845843068313893362011-05-17T22:58:51.033-04:002011-05-17T22:58:51.033-04:00Lizzie, we've got to get you up here in person...Lizzie, we've got to get you up here in person, that's all there is to it.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-14764587957074618272011-05-17T22:58:15.472-04:002011-05-17T22:58:15.472-04:00It sounds like WV, Barbara.

Here and there we saw potatoes, and today we noticed that some people had managed to set out tomatoes. I'm reluctant to risk my tomato plants until the temps are warmer--it just barely got over 50 today.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-7480591999155014352011-05-17T22:56:23.903-04:002011-05-17T22:56:23.903-04:00Janet, I'll join you in that chant:)

Joy, we've had about 3 salads from the seeds planted on February 10th, but all subsequent plantings haven't germinated--I think the seeds rotted in the ground. <br /><br />I must be an optimist, Angela, because I planted more lettuce on Sunday. And now more rain and cold. Since I am currently dryer-less (waiting for Larry to hook up the gas one) I am really, really glad I bought that large drying rack at ReStore a few months ago.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-63077574987557682302011-05-17T21:14:44.276-04:002011-05-17T21:14:44.276-04:00I love walking your yard through the pictures...of...I love walking your yard through the pictures...of course, it makes me miss you all the more and now I really can't wait until Thursday night when I get to see you again!

My new one (6 mos. old) is waiting for a repair man for the 3rd time now.<br />They sure don't make things the way they used to!Country Whispershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525399460066950231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-33246686998465296302011-05-17T20:10:21.088-04:002011-05-17T20:10:21.088-04:00Has been raining cats and dogs here and cool (whic...Has been raining cats and dogs here and cool (which I love).

We finally were able to put the tomato plants, cabbage and pepper plants in our garden on Saturday. Didn't have time to plant the seeds yet because it RAINED! It's been raining all day here today. <br /><br />One good thing about the rain though, I can wash as many clothes as I want without worrying about the water in my well! <br /><br />Your stove is so beautiful!
