We have not gotten much rain and the grounds here are still golden. But with the hint of rain from the radio program and the heaviness in the sky yesterday morning, I decided I would experiment with preemergence. Something totally new to my hands. It is so dry, that as I unwound the garden hose I have on the ground, I uncovered a mound of wasps, around 20 to 30, all gathered on the wet spot from the leaky hose. Poor things, I did not have the heart to smash them. I will change my mind later in the year when they are not so cold and more aggressive. I spent $$ on a bag of weed killer that I know nothing about, but as the years go by and the more sore I get from weed pulling, my laziness has led me to the greener side of poisons. The only problem I saw in this is I spread this magic formula where a hose won't reach, placing my faith in the radio announcer that we would get rain to help me out. As the sun set in a clear evening sky, my hopes for moisture led to me being mad at myself for foolishly throwing away $$ that I could have spent on flowers. lol. But as I was sewing, the welcoming green flash outside the window lit up the dark night. RAIN! I am so happy. As you can see, it doesn't take much to impress me! Today, with the ground softened, I hope to go till up the pumpkin/melon patches. Is there a magic powder that can be sprinkled to break up the grounds? If there is ... contact me!!! {:
