Rain, Finally!

Finally some rain...thank Heaven for it. It has been very dry the last month. We only got a few little sprinkles twice since March 8th when we had a deluge for 4 days....so 7 weeks with little or no rain. The garden is smiling today...it's nice to get a bath.
We planted a big garden again this spring. Potatoes, carrots, beets, spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, peppers, green beans, field peas, eggplant, okra, squash, watermelon, cantaloupe and strawberries. Saturday I canned 11 pts of green beans, our first picking, 6 lbs of them. They look so pretty in the jars, makes me feel like I accomplished something. About time to pick the beets, I think. Maybe this weekend.
