So my garden has not been planted yet.
And at the rate I'm going, it won't get planted at all this year.
I would absolutely LOVE to be out there digging in the dirt and getting my plants in the ground. I had such grand ideas for my garden this year and was super duper motivated to actually do something with that spot. I have starts to get planted, I have my cover crop seed all set to go, I have all my gardening supplies parked in the perfect spot for easy access and use. I have everything ready to go so lack of want isn't a problem.
I obviously can't be crawling around on my hands and knees working in the garden right now but I had/have plenty of help in the labor department. I have plenty of helping hands lined up to help with the tilling, planting, tending, weeding, watering, and mulching. (And they are plenty willing hands too, thanks to generous payment on my part. haha) So lack of help and physical inability aren't my issue either.
No. My trouble is Mother Nature has had other plans. It's pretty darn hard to plant a garden when said garden is the consistency of a mud-bogging pit and you have to dodge rain drops on the short walk there.
And since we are pert near waterlogged by this point from weekly rainstorms accompanied by relatively warm days (when it's not raining that is), my mud pit is also growing a nice big lush green crop of quack grass.
Hard to weed the quack out when it's so mushy you sink to your ankles in spots.
So even though I'm ready and willing (and have able help as I'm unable), Mother Nature just ain't coopertating.
Shucks.
