One of you mentioned that Blogge...Well, well, well. One of you mentioned that Blogger isn't emailing comments to you anymore, and it made ME wonder since I hadn't gotten any emailed comments lately, either. You ARE commenting! Yay!<br /><br />The time factor and getting things watered consistently were the very reason I decided to to it that way this year, Leigh. We'll see how it works, but I have high hopes. We have "red jory" soil here, but our garden has been amended many times in past years with our composted manure, making it darker.<br /><br />Oh, no, Mama Pea; we get VERY little rain during the summer. And May 2018 has been the second hottest and second driest on record.<br /><br />I can't believe how much you're getting done while battling Lyme Disease, Susan! You're just confirming your Superwoman status.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-41866085555326808482018-06-01T07:21:51.499-07:002018-06-01T07:21:51.499-07:00I'm adding my voice to the chorus about your f...I'm adding my voice to the chorus about your fabulous soil! I have yet to put my squash in but have the balance of the limited plants all in. Of course, I'm also going to reap the benefits of my friend's organic garden in my labor-for-vegetables efforts!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-5010568087516207712018-06-01T06:13:44.521-07:002018-06-01T06:13:44.521-07:00I agree with Leigh . . . your soil looks lovely! ...I agree with Leigh . . . your soil looks lovely! Must feel good to have so much of your garden in place now. For some reason, I've always assumed you got plenty of summer rain in your area. Enough for the garden and all those gorgeous blooms you treat us to. Until the rains started here a few days ago, I had to do watering every day (with hand-held hose) which took me about an hour each time. Now, of course, it's so wet out there I'm slip-sliding around in the field garden trying to keep the weeds under control and hoping it dries enough (soon, please) to get the rest of it planted! Where's that balance???Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-33315440571878375752018-06-01T02:55:55.938-07:002018-06-01T02:55:55.938-07:00What a brilliant idea to plant with the soaker hos...What a brilliant idea to plant with the soaker hos already in place! Dragging and positioning hoses can be a time-consuming chore, especially when there is so much else to do. Love how black your soil looks! I grew up with black soil and the south's browns and reds just aren't as rich and pretty looking. Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.com
