Gardening Day

Not to bad of a weather day.  A little warm and muggy this morning.  One of the outdoor thermometers read 84 and they're all in the shade.
Ron decided to plow gardens this morning because it might rain this afternoon.  First he plowed ours up and down and then across.  Next he took the tiller across the street to do a neighbor's garden.  When he got back we started planting.  Ron raked the soil flat and made the rows.  I watched to make sure the rows were straight. Ron sowed the parsnips, I watched.  Ron sowed the radishes, I watched.  Then I took the rake and covered the row of parsnips and radishes.  Rib sowed the lettuce, I watched........getting the idea of the sequence of events?  Well he also planted the onions but I didn't cover those.  I did cover the three rows of peas he planted tho.
Lunch followed and then off to the locally run market for tomato and pepper plants.  It started sprinkling when we left the house and the farther south we drove the heavier the rain.  By the time we got to Cass and Henderson it was pouring down and the outdoor market is only protected by plastic over the roof.  Now, if anyone remembers back 30 years ago, plastic for roof and rain are NOT a good topic of conversation.  We did get our plants and four hanging baskets without causing any disasters involving large amounts of water.  The baskets were immediately placed on the hangers on the back deck and the veggie plants are waiting their turn for the garden.  As for the weather, it cooled off considerably and is supposed to stay in the 50's for a few days.
