and the rain continues

June 10th, 2010

Well the rain continues to fall in the prairies.  It was a small battle to work around all the rain that has passed through in order to get the tomato and eggplant transplants in the ground.  All the plants are in now and hopefully they will survive, grow and produce.  The plants didn’t go to the ground in the healthiest condition.  I had kept the plants in cold, wet and crowded trays for to long.

I basically have everything else planted (with the exception of a few rows).  Most of the seeds are germinated now but have been slow to grow with the lack of sunshine.  My first market day has been pushed back by another week.

and the dugout level gets even higher.

yep, still rainin

Last year we had record dry spell; this year we have record rainfall.  With all the rain we’ve had my dugout is now at it’s highest level.  I frequently have a couple of ducks sitting in the water.  It is kind of fun watching them defend their position when other birds try and land in the dugout.  With the ducks it’s not so much an aerial dog fight as it is a loud slow chase away.

Winter Dugout

winter dugout

This is Dad dropping into the dugout to see how much snow has filled in.  The water level has risen since the fall.  I’m hoping it will fill up in the spring.
