Rain, Rain, Go Away

Today we finished unloading the boat and I ended up at the house early enough in the day to get some work done.  Unfortunately it was raining AGAIN, so I worked in the sunroom.  I am getting ready to plant seeds for a second planting of lettuce, spinach, cauliflower and kohlrabi.   

I have a small aphid problem in the sunroom so I spent a good deal of time washing things down.

Even though the weather has been awful, things are still growing in the garden.  This flower is called "Wild Phlox."  I have them everywhere in the flowerbeds!

 It's not actually a Phlox at all.  I think it's called "Dame's Rocket" or "Sweet Rocket."  It comes in white, light purple and bright purple.  It's actually on our invasive species list because it spreads so easily but I LOVE it!  It is beautiful, attracts pollinators, smells nice and loves our weather.  If you don't like it in your bed it is easy to pull up, so I don't see a problem.

The chives are just about to bloom, the buds are just getting ready to burst!

I have a lot to do before I open on Monday.  I sure hope I don't have to do it all in the rain!
