My tulips and daffodils were finished weeks ago. We're not supposed to have any more nights in the 30's.

Planted watermelon seeds today, and little cauliflower plants. I'm giving up on the pumpkin patch this year--I just don't have time or energy to get rid of the sticker bushes.

We're having a real problem right now with drought though. Our farm pond is down to a little green mud puddle. We had a little rain last week, but it didn't help much. The geese aren't happy.
