Rainy Day Gardening

Just because it's pouring rain all day doesn't mean you can't make progress on your garden. It's the perfect time to peruse the seed catalogs, revise your plans for current beds , make plans for you next,  catch up on a little light reading in your gardening books or favorite websites or even clean and sharpen your garden tools. I took the opportunity to order some seeds from Burpee.com for my two new beds. A few of which are great looking heirlooms varieties of French origin, the descriptions of which sound like they will be perfect for my kitchen table.

They are:

• Carrot, Touchon
• Bean, Triumphe De Farcy Bush
• Bean, Green Anellino
• Pea, Oregon Sugar Pod Organic
• Leek, Blue Solaise
• Celery, Tall Utah 52-70 R Improved
• Cucumber, Picklebush
• Garlic, Early Italian
