Uncle! Uncle! Uncle!!!
Please, no more rain!!!
We are waterlogged already!!!
Presenting for evidence this photo of a pine seedling growing out of a wooden fence door that is now so thoroughly soaked it has made a viable place for seedlings to take root. When I first walked by this, I thought it was from a batch of weeds that had snagged on the door as I went past. Upon closer inspection I could see that a pine seedling had germinated and begun growing in the wet wood itself. Nature will find a way.
This doesn’t bode well for the garden. An excess of anything is rarely good, and in the excess of rain we have been overrun by slugs that have decimated our once-beautiful hosta, and started the rotting process on several sections of wood around the house.
On the other hand, the ferns and the cup plant and the fountain grass are all having banner years. Pity we can’t get out as much to enjoy them when it’s pouring rain outside. Whatever happened to a happy medium?
