rain , rain and more rain ... ...
the rain in eastern ontario just won't stop .
wanted to take the veg and fruit scraps out to the composter at the backfence - no go - the backyard sits under at least two inches of water .
have been taking about half-a-pail of water out of the basement dehumidifier every day - and that's in addtion to what the C/A collects - about another half-pail .

but getting to the garden :
the lawn is lush and green and should be cut again today , but a wet lawn and an electric lawnmover don't make a good combination !

Just found this thread. I've been missing out.
Hello to everyone.
Michigan summer is starting to wind down. Had a few nights in the mid fiftys. I've had one of the best years for my garden and flowers. I attribute this to two things. One: In the month of June, it rained close to every other day, with, the sun coming out later. Two, I got a hold of some of the richest compost soil mix. It literally, gave off smoke, as I shoveled into it.
Does anybody have any experience on harvesting sunflowers, or the first year of growing asparagas?
