Please no more rain

During our virtually snowless winter and our dry spring, gardening/farming folks and my mother all said something like," I hope it does not mean we'll  have a wet and cool summer."  I cannot generalize about weather trends, but I can say that we have had a surplus of rain.   

The potatoes were coming up nicely and having dodged the Colorado Potato Beetle, I was feeling good.  On Saturday, Kamal dug up the dirt to make it nice and fluffy in preparation for hilling a third time (just because we had the soil and to buy less straw for mulching).

  But the rain gods had other ideas...

After the hailstorm with an inch rain

 We'll try again next weekend.
