We've been in Asheville this past weekend, visiting Noah and Andrew, getting some work done on the house, and checking the local woods for spring wild flowers. Rain was threatening as we left town, and I had hoped we would get a good rain to wash away the record-setting amount of pollen that has fallen this season. We drove westward through heavy rain that slowed our progress on Thursday night. Alas, no measurable rain fell here all weekend. Despite that, the garden grew noticeably!
Most dramatic were the potatoes. Many of the plants had come up through the leaf mulch, had leafed out, and grown a good 4 inches above the mulch. The zucchini and yellow squash seeds had germinated and become little established plants. The cucumber seeds had sprouted. The sugar snaps are finally growing!
