It's it time yet? Is it time yet?

Several weeks ago, we received our seed catalogs (Burpee and Park Seeds). We took our time and carefully selected seeds for this year's TY garden. I sent the order off and minus a few back ordered items, we were set to go.

According to our charts and books, the first planting for 2009 should be done 6 weeks before the last frost. That date was this past weekend. EXCITING! We went to our local garden store Friday night to buy a few odds and ends (potash, hedge clippers, soil tester, pine needles, etc.). The plan was to get an early start Saturday morning. I'd heard rain was predicted for the weekend but figured it wouldn't be too bad. After all, we made the soil casserole in the rain last fall; we should be able to set out a few beds of seeds in the rain. Right?

A bit of a misjudgment for sure! It began raining Friday night and kept on raining all the way through last night until it became......


Needless to say, we didn't start the garden this weekend. :(

The time is drawing near, however so look for weekly updates from here on out. We'll report on what we're planting as we plant it and anything else going on garden-wise.
