It must be so challenging to garden in those conditions. We rarely get drought here, but sometimes too much rain. I am just feeling relieved that winter seems to be over. We could still get some more snow, but it won't last if we do.Gigi Thibodeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326335927273800932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-13866582089654534412015-04-22T15:23:19.056-04:002015-04-22T15:23:19.056-04:00It has, indeed, Barb!

I am trying to keep my raised beds of herbs, tomatoes, arugala, chard and rhubarb going by dragging buckets of shower water and washing up water out to deep soak the plants. On the flower front, azaleas and camellias are almost over, but the Pride of Madeira is loving this type of weather, and the bees love that plant too.
