Rain

At last, I don't need to rotate the sprinkler all day over the vegetable garden!  We are finally getting the rain the ground needed.  And it is a perfect rain at that,  slow and light, not flooding out the seedlings.  I hope it makes the last of the seeds sprout.  The carrots, onions, green beans, chard, endive, peas, radishes, and cabbage, have popped up out of the soil.  I am surprised the lettuce is taking so long though, and when we were weeding last night, it became obvious that the yellow beans have somehow disappeared.
We have decided that we will just reseed those, it's still early enough.  But the onions have only spouted a small portion of the 300 planted, so I am going to have to just bite the bullet for this year, and buy started plants from the garden center.

You can't really see the rain in this picture, but I think the grey sky and the lush green shows we are finally getting a little wet love from Mother Nature.
