Rain last night, though not the heavy t-storms which were predicted. Rain was strong enough to knock over the cilantro plants, but not harm them. The cilantro is getting out of hand, I am going to have to start offering it to neighbors. Parsely is finally coming along nicely. That I will not have to give away since I can and will use enough of it in my modified Tabouleh using spelt in place of bulgar wheat.

Peas are blooming more each day, so I expect that I will start to see pods relatively soon.

I started digging up the sod for the squash area of the garden, though to be honest I made little progress. I am sorely tempted to cover the area with newspaper then add topsoil and compost in which to plant the squash, letting time and darkness take care of the sod.. This assumes that I can find the time and borrow a vehicle ot get the soil and compost..

Lemon verbena is starting to leaf out, and the oregano is coming back. No sign yet of the horseradish, which I have been growing only to keep the plants going since this is the family heirloom plant. I need to look into propagation of it so that I can start harvesting it, though from what I have read so far horseradish does not fare well in the heat of the south.

With the onion seeds planted the rains are welcome.
