Victory Garden status 5/23/2013
Wow! What a rain the last two days. Reminds me of Louis XIV saying: "Après moi, le déluge" Well, we had a 4"+ deluge here in Dragonville. But the raised beds are doing their thang. I think only some of our taters are in danger.
This past Monday Sue and her daughter, Bob and I:
1. Watered the bean pots.
2. Did some weeding.
3. Harvested 74 lbs Texas sweet onions and 20 lbs of the scrawny garlic in one of the raised wooden beds. I took it to the Food Pantry dis mornin. The garlic is a gorgeous rose color. See pix below.
4. Dealt with a snake which turned out to be dead, much to everyone' relief. Various local experts believe it to be a California king snake, which is native to the desert southwest. Not sure how it got here or how it met its untimely demise.
The zinnias have come up in the Peterson Lake bed but only a few in the Shelton bed. Patience, Carl Wayne, patience.

Ain't God good!!!
