We have a bit of rain this morning

Even though the rain sent me back inside from doing some yard work, I am still happy to see it. We had a nice steady rain for about one hour. That is exactly what my plants needed. I am not sure what the rest of the day looks like in terms of moisture. I am hoping to have a couple of hours outside at some point today.

I was able to transplant some slips of iris and some sedum that I took from my deceased parents place earlier this week. I also had an order of 8 Astilbe arrive in the mail yesterday. I spent part of yesterday afternoon planting those things.

The long bed in front of my deck is about 45 feet long and 3 feet wide. The things that I planted there last fall are coming up and giving lots of color and much joy to me. They were planted quickly and rather haphazardly last fall due to time restraints. I am sure that many of the things will have to be transplanted to other areas as they grow. I also have three smaller beds and a place which will be home to a few vegetables when the time comes.

I have more bulbs, loads of seeds and also a good supply of already potted things that need to be put in the ground. I pretty much have my time taken up for next few months. haha I am really enjoying myself though.

I hope that all the rest of you "thirsty" mid-atlantic gardeners will get some of the wet stuff too. Happy Gardening to all.
