Welcome Rain

This morning we woke to a steady drizzle that must have been going on all night. We are benefiting from what was hurricane Fay, now just a rain storm working its way up the East coast. This is not yet enough rain to end the drought that has affected our area for over a year, but I am hopeful that our water tables will recover with the promise of yet another hurricane on its way.

Each day the seedlings grow stronger, and my hope that this third crop attempt will be successful, also grows stronger. The beds are rich and ready for these medicinal perennial herbs to be planted this fall.
