I delayed garden work and going to the beach last weekend because of the chance of rain and just ended up sitting in the house miserable. I also use botanical names along with the common names in my blog, thanks for sharing!Melissa @floraseasonshttp://floraseasons.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-31460025642649059962012-09-03T08:53:26.527-04:002012-09-03T08:53:26.527-04:00Only weatherforecasters get to be soooo wrong and ...Only weatherforecasters get to be soooo wrong and still keep their jobs. LOL Here in se Indiana, we got 7 minutes of rain on Sat. It rained longer on Sunday, but was more of a misty rain, so I'm not sure how much total. I plan to hike to our wetlands part of our wood/creek and see what's blooming now. Last week I found Great Blue lobelia even without any recent rains.

Nice radishes flowers - maybe you could start promoting ornamental radishes.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671760671850555664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-51465486817562823882012-09-02T19:52:12.892-04:002012-09-02T19:52:12.892-04:00Lol, I looked up raphanus sativus before I read pa...Lol, I looked up raphanus sativus before I read past the second paragraph--eventually, I found out they were radishes, but my first search results produced links to cannabis. I didn't think you were growing that in your garden, Carol:)<br /><br />Anyway, by now I would imagine that predicted rain finally fell, but I understand your frustration.

About those weeds, it seems the crabgrass explodes this time of the year and unfortunately I didn't cook my compost hot enough last fall so I had weeds in my compost so I'm having to weed my containers.....

They's be a pretty, perhaps peppery addition. I just learned that radish leaves are edible -- and here was I, turfing them into the compost all my life.

But no, you were pining over what for many is their first vegetable harvest. My Purple Topped turnip came before good old French Breakfast. The frenchies must have been very old. No wonder I don't eat or grow radishes. Never thought about that until.<br /><br />But what I wouldn't give to Patrick's Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043684211085414505noreply@blogger.com
