Too wet

It's been raining all week off and on. Watt says that will make the ground good and soft for working. I tell him they say it's not good to work the dirt when it's so wet because it will compact.

"Who says?" he asks.

I can't remember who says.

But we don't actually have anything to plant anyway. And I have a mile long list of things to do before leaving town on Monday, so I don't think we'll be doing any cultivating this weekend.

I did order some seeds though from Local Harvest. Some cumin and coriander and dill. Some lettuces and some beans.

I had dinner with Lynn last night and asked her if she'd put anything in to the garden yet. She said no, but she had a few things starting inside and was thinking of planting beans soon, and maybe even some lettuces.

I did go out into the morning sun a few times to gawp at the sky. The pear tree is starting to bud. And there's a big purple crocus smack in the middle of the lawn. I wonder how it came to be there.
