I'm in Missouri and My husband plowed the garden and we have had nothing but rain since. When the garden is going there is always something to be done out there. And your bonus is fresh veggies., Nice sweet tomatoes,crunchie cucumbers. Love the fresh zuchinni and bell peppers.We put out lots of types of veggies just not a whole lot.,as it is just us. Wish I could share this year with all of you that don't garden.
