June! It’s June! Do you know what that means?! It means we have soooo much to do in the garden and yard! Are you as behind as I am? I have had many customers coming in the last few days saying they need to get going in their gardens, and boy can I relate! My garden was far behind where it usually is in early June – until a few days ago, I only had some lettuce, spinach, peas and my beloved garlic (which I planted last fall) in the veggie garden. I would normally have almost everything planted by Memorial Day, with just a few late plantings yet to go in. The weather was really making it difficult to get going, though. Every time I thought I was going to get some work done in the garden, we got thunderstorms or the temperatures went down so low that I didn’t want to shock the poor plants. But I decided I was going to get as much done as possible early this week. I still have a few things to get in, but I feel much more optimistic that we’ll actually be harvesting produce from the garden this year than I did just a few days ago!
However, my determination to get all the work done in my garden meant a slight delay in getting this month’s newsletter out, so it’s time to get caught up on that, too!
