My garden is still to wet to work.

I like rain as much as the next guy but this is getting a little much. Just as my garden dries out enough to till, it rains again. I know that waiting is the right thing to do but sometimes I think I need to go ahead and plant before it gets to late. I know that that last statement is not true. Here are a few rules to follow when working in any bed or garden. Never work the soil when it is gummy. Make a ball out of a hand full of your garden or flower bed soil. See if you can break it apart easily. If it crumbles get to tilling if it holds together and resist breaking apart it is to wet, stay out of the garden. Planting late is not all bad. Many flowers and vegetables love warm soils. Planting later instead of earlier often results in harvest at about the same time. Planting in warm soils allows the plants to take right off instead of just sitting there for a week or two before it is warm enough to start growing. I guess I'll wait a few more days before tilling and planting, again.
I will be at Grimm's Gardens next Saturday from 9:00 until 11:00, stop by and say Hi or bring your questions right to me. Hope to see you there.
