LMAO@Sharni!

They say corn should be "knee high by the fourth of July" for those of us in the North Eastern states......and farmers around our way are rip roaring mad at all this rain. Some corn crops aren't even a foot tall yet and they doubt that by the 4th it will be anywhere near their knees! Too much rain and not enough sun this year.

Strawberries did well in raised beds.....but for those still on the ground, the crops mushed out. Beans aren't doing well and neither are cantelope....to name a few crops. We've never had this much rain and not enough sun this long into spring before. Looks like prices will rise for the crops that do make it this year.

I also have 2 pear trees....which I forgot about as we were talking veggies till we turned grapey.

I am surrounded by folks who have apple trees out the wazzo in their yards and an orchard is just down the road. My house used to be one of only two houses on this street. It was the main caretakers home for the orchard that went on for miles round here. It's also the only home with no apple trees in it! We are only the third owner of my 100+y/o house and the first owner was the caretaker of the orchards. Guess he saw enough out in the fields and didn't want any apples in his own yard. Curses to him! LOL! I'll show him........I'm getting a pair of trees this year. Would also love a pair of mini peach trees. But....flowers are still my passion.

P.S. Does anyone have myrtle planted by their "garden gate"? A place where when you come home or guests come over.....it has to be passed to get to your house? It's spose to be good luck for all who pass it and bring warmth and love into your home. You should know about this Lilith!? Yes? No? Or maybe I am the only one with this secret knowledge!?
