Sometimes we get things right.  The forecast for the past couple of days has called for rain last night and today, but I’m not very confident in it.  But just in case, on Sunday we made a big push to get summer squash and beans seeded before the rain.  Yesterday I was up early seeding sunflowers at home, and then out past dark last night prepping beds and transplanting spinach.

And guess what?  As I pulled the row cover over the spinach last night (the final transplanting task for me), big rain drops started to fall.  I quickly put the tools away and jogged to the car just as it really let loose.  I drove home with my wipers on full-tilt!  It rained quite a bit last night, and is still raining this morning.  Hopefully all of this moisture will get the newly-planted crops off to a good start.
