Expected rain didn’t show up. Cloudy but no rain. Planted cowslip last night thinking it would get watered in. Pouting.

If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It’s a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it’s time to reflect on what’s come before.

I’m in West Virginia and its been raining non-stop pretty much for 7 days. Creeks are flooding , roads are washing out and schools and businesses are closed . I used to live in Ohio, and this flooding is amazing. I saw a garden yesterday that had been planted that washed right down the hill into the ditch. Her plants are probably in the Kanawha River now. If I could send you some of this rain ,I would. Good luck and use a hose.

I experienced the same disappointment. Built a new raised bed hoping it would get watered down and settle.
