If You Can't Beat It...

Cabbage & Broccoli
What? More rain?  Go figure!  If you can't beat it, join it.  That's the motto for the rest of this week.  We have a couple of days off and have every intention of getting some major work done around the homestead.  Rain, rain and more rain.  Ugh!  So, this morning, we joined it.  We completed the first length on the new garden fence installation and B began the construction of a rock wall to enclose the strawberry patch.  We were dripping wet, but loved every minute of it.... well mostly :).  Later in the day, when it was just grey and a little less was falling from the sky, we transplanted all of the broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and leeks to the garden.  We placed them carefully in their nests within the landscape fabric and then covered them with a gauzy row cover to prevent the dreaded root maggots.

On taps for tomorrow...some more fence work and the strawberry patch.  Rain, rain, go away!
