I think it's time to grow gills. This constant rain and dismal grey is beginning to wear on me. Kudos to those inhabitants of the Pacific northwest. I don't know how they do it!
I've neglected the garden (not that there's much to do except weed), leaving the lettuce beds to the slugs and snails. We finally had a brief respite last evening. The sun actually shone! I grabbed my hoe and made a dash to the potatoes which needed some serious hilling. Then I tackled the greens. Bolting spinach and slug-chewed lettuce were on last night's menu. Our basil, well it's just throwing in the towel. The plants are yellowed and chewed by some critter. I may have to dash to the greenhouse and see if they still have some potted plants so I can start anew. Yet, Ocimum basilica (Genovese basil) really needs some hot temperatures and strong sun, so maybe I'd be wasting money. Same for the tomatoes--very lush green, but the flowers.....hmmm....
