3 hail storms back to back day before yesterday, hammered most of my garden into the ground. Tomatoes, potatoes, peppers will probably come out of it but I'll probably have a late crop. Too late to plant cool weather crops but I'm gonna try replanting squash, cucumbers, melons, beets, beans. Got a large garden and depend on it for much of my own food and others food. Lot of work for an old man. This is bad with the economy being what it is right now.
Kudos to you sir!!
Good luck 👏
Can't keep a good man down. I hope you have a great season! All the best!
@d yeah,I watched it a while back.
I feel you sir . My second year of no income. Cracks me up when people think gardening is my hobby
Hey guys, I hope you enjoy this month's planting guide. It's not too late to get your garden planted!!
How do I find the planting guide. It’s so nice to have you comment on zone 7, where I live!
Thanks for posting this! I got started with gardening late this year because I just got settled into a new home. Hoping to have some decent fall and winter harvests this year thanks to you!
We still have frost warnings here🤦♀️ I have everything in pots for now and take them in and out every morning and night🤦♀️ so much work! Wish I could just plant seeds directly into the ground! Cape Breton island NS Canada
Looking for link to 45 minute. Link to august plantings
Just found you. Got you closer to 100k. Biden got me back into gardening. God bless his soul if he has one.
Welcome aboard!
Amen. lol
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 respectfully this tickled me
What the hell does Politics have to do with this video ? The dirt don’t see no party or color ? You feel Me !! Get off the BS !!
My volunteer tomatoes came up on their own in June last season and they were my best producers.
Yes!
Re: cilantro bolting. Many of us enjoy harvesting the cilantro seeds, i.e., "coriander." All parts of the plants have that unique cilantro flavor, even the roots (for soups)! It's a beautiful plant, attracts pollinators to its white clusters of flowers, and has many uses in the kitchen. I also interplant cilantro amongst anything else to distract insect pests and to provide a bit of shade to needy other plants.
Very true!
I unfortunately am one of those folks for whom cilantro tastes like soap! No matter how often I try it I just can't seem to like it. It's okay if it's hidden in some salsa, but anywhere else! NOPE! I still grow it occasionally for my family though.
@@StoneyAcresGardening I’ve never eaten soap; wasn’t one of those childhood punishments my parents practiced:). Fermenting cilantro mellows the flavor a bit, use it for fermented salsa!
It has to do with genetics, believe it or not.
Food advice. I love cilantro and need an excuse to plant it😄everywhere
@@JRileyStewart For those cilantro-is-soap-ers it's not about mellow or too strong of flavor. Their taste buds detect the poison the plant puts off when consumed, while we lucky cilantro eaters enjoy flavorful bliss
Cherry Tomatoes you can start by seed until mid June and get a harvest in September. The bigger you have to transplant in June.
Nasturtiums you can also grow from seed, they take 30-40 days to flower in my experience
We planted tomatoes in late April, in May I clipped & rooted 8-10 suckers from each tomato plant. We repeated the process this weekend, trimming the young plants and rooting the suckers.
Now we have 3 stages of maturity and I'll certainly appreciate the 2-3weeks between harvests when trying to get everything canned.
I am in Zone 6B and I have good success with planting most lettuces, celery, radishes, rainbow Swiss chard, chives & Nasturtium in a shade garden under the canopy of a tree. I planted these the last week in May.
I'm actually putting together a video on planting in the shade right now. I'm curious how much shade they get. Is it solid all day or do they still get a few hours a day? Would you be willing to share a photo of your shade garden that I could add to the video?
I always plant in June, May is just too busy of a month for me and my family. I still have great results!!
I was in that same boat this year. I just finished up our planting the first couple of days in June.
Thank you. I needed this list. I thought it was too late to expand my garden, but now I will hop to it!
Glad it was helpful!
🌼🌻🐝☀️🌺👨🌾 I love your garden!! Such a great inspiration to me as I am also a gardener and RUclips creator. You put a lot of work and love into growing your garden! All the hard work is paying off. I still have so much to learn about gardening and I appreciate your tips, tricks! TFS! I would love to learn more about gardening from each other.
Thank you so much!
Finally - someone who lists the zones! I'm at the base of the Bitterroot Mountains in Montana so zone 4-5'ish. Lots in the garden but always looking to advance my knowledge, so glad I found your channel.
Glad to help!
THANK YOU!!! I had a rough start this year, and am behind the curve on garden planting. I appreciate the encouragement..
You got this!
@@StoneyAcresGardening I actually have been growing about 80% of the produce I use in a year. I do a LOT of canning and preserving. I mainly just buy things like lettuce during winter, etc. But I have had a rough start. I'm on a farm, and farm related things were particularly hard this year. Between prices rising, availability of some things, crazy weather, and time (I also work as a full time nurse) I am behind. I'll make it though.
On this Father's Day weekend, the Walmart, Lowe's, and HyVee grocery store in my area (Quad Cities, IL), are still selling vegetable seeds.
Hi I just watched my first video and subscribed. I really appreciate that you did not waste time. You got right to the point. Thank you!
Thanks for the sub!
Zone 7b here and I’m new to the zone from 5, new to your channel and new to vegi gardening. Thanks for being succinct. Your info is very inspiring since I just got my 10- 7 gallon grow bags lined- up under a string pergola and next to a cattle panel. The tomatoes are growing up the string and the summer squash and watermelon are going on the panel. I have cucumbers and green bush beans in two too small planters (18” x18”). So far they are happy. My walla walla onions are starting to fall over and are no less than 2” in circumference in an elevated planter. My carrots are tiny after 8-10 weeks. My lettuce is bolting and my turnips are elongated and small. I planted organic grocery store red and yellow potatoes in boxes. I’ve hilled them only once and they have a foot of green growth on top. Time for more compost on them. I have thousands of seeds I have bought and am afraid to “waste them” as I’m a novice, but you have given me hope. Thank you. Now to actually break ground. Goodbye grass!
It's still too cold overnight in Rochester NY this year. I usually have my tomatoes, peppers, etc planted by now. They're not in yet.
Great planting guide! We've been having crazy weather fluctuations in Ohio (Zones 6a-6b) - cool weather crops have mostly bolted with unseasonable 90 degree days, torrential rains and flooding, more insect pests than usual- so now its a race to get in all the summer crops.Look forward to a garden tour at the end of June.
We have had a weird spring too. 92 one day and near frost 2 days later! We have still been mostly cool so I'm hoping my broccoli will still head.
Oh10 here too❤️🙏🏾. I live near Youngstown and this weather has been extra difficult
Very good presentation. You know you are a master of your craft when you can simplify planting in June. In previous years, I late summer planted and learned what not to plant. Will sign up for mini course for sure!
Thanks a lot
Thank you..really needed this. Decided to eat only what i plant, have some peppers and tomatoes in already. Thnx again
You got this!
This year nature decided to light frost my peppers and Tomatoes twice. It even snowed in mid May. I would say that you can grow a tomato from seed in June and have some in late season. The fall frost is also a gamble. The Farmers Almanac is a bit of a work of fiction these days.
If you can still find transplants at a nursery you will have much better luck with them, and still get a worthwhile harvest.
You can plant greens & brocolli in June & early July here in Oregon if they are in a shady area during the late afternoon.
I've grown beautiful broccoli, bac choi & salad greens that only get morning sun & very early afternoon.
Thanks for the info!
I'm seeing you have a lot of shade over at least part of your garden. I transplanted golden wax beans from our greenhouse. In the sun, all my beans croaked, green as well as wax. In the dhade they're looking like they might survive. We're in AZ zone 6/7
I hope they survive! I know you guys down in AZ have a lot of challenges that we don't.
My garden is actually very sunny, it gets about 8 hours of sun a day, and even more in some places. In these videos you are just seeing it early in the morning. That's the only time I can manage to film out in the garden without it being too bright!
True, in PNW its when we bring our transplants out
Zone 7A here and I just planted some dent corn and Khorason spring wheat last week. Planning on sowing some carrots when harvest my garlic.
Sounds great!
This really depends on what zone you are in! We are in zone 7b, but the weather has been “off”. Either very hot, suddenly cold, or extremely wet. My Timorese have started rotting on the vine because of too much rain!
Ga
Same here.... in GA. The weather has SUCKED ugh
Yes. I Live in 7b also and it is super wet cold and wierd. We should be hot right now. My herbs and raspberries are happy, but most of my plants look water logged. Hopefully the sun comes out today to dry things out.
Just SUBSCRIBED Brother 💪🤜🤛 I found your channel at the perfect time. I run my Landscaping business full time and our spring rush is just slowing down a bit. I actually took a day off, grabbed my compost scoops today and did some planters for our vegetables this year. This was very beneficial and MOTIVATING 😎✌️❤️
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you. Still behind in planting some things. This REALLY helped.
Glad it was helpful!
Just Stubbled on your! Wow! Just what I was looking for!! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Where in June? Minnesota where I live or in Texas? It can’t apply for all
Thank you for sharing this video with me.
Glad you enjoyed it
MIgardener has a heat tolerant type of cilantro called Culantro. It’s similar and will tolerate our summer. I never have any luck with cilantro, our weather turns so fast it goes straight to seed.
I've had the same experience the few times I've grow it here in Utah. I will get to harvest it for a week or so and then it bolts in the heat.
@@StoneyAcresGardening mine gets to be about 3-4” tall and then straight to seed, even in shade. Maybe just the quick increase in heat we had last year and this spring.
Knowing that, you could plant a bunch and collect the seeds, then plant a ton every two weeks or so and grow them as microgreens. BTW Coriander (Seeds) are an excellent fresh spice especially in curries so even when it goes to seed it's valuable not just for growing more plants but for cooking.
@@TheRealHonestInquiry I am one of those people for whom cilantro tastes like soap! My family likes it for some dishes so I just grow a little of it in spring and fall and that seems to do it for us.
I had some come up in the compost, and the chickens actually left them alone! They're going to seed now, so awesome! Another batch following- and NO WORK!
Lovely
June is main planting month in my area of the UK
Spinach bolted last 90 degree temps we had. Today here in N.Y 94. My Honey nut winter squash is in the ground. 3rd year of me growing this from seed from Botanical Interest. It's so sweet and delicious. Seen the monarchs already and my milkweed and zinnias, marigolds ECT. Are in the ground. Great information as always.
Whew! 94! We did jump to 92 one day last week just before a storm, but luckily we have been mostly in the 70's and 80's still.
Yess back down to the 70s for us tommorow can't wait. I can't remember getting 90 degree weather here in May. Crazy
Don't eat spinach, to much oxalate bad food for body. Popeye dyed from spinach.
Lol!!! Here in the northwestern maine mountains you cant put in a garden before june, actually june 10th is my usual start date!
All I need is more garden space, in June.
I feel the same way. This year I'm adding a bunch of containers to help add more space!
Out of desperation I planted more Irish potatoes in my unfinished compost. They're doing ok, would be doing better if the 🐔's would leave them alone
We might grow some tomatoes out the bottom of hanging baskets for more space.
Fantastic video! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Thank you right on time for me.
Rule thumb know your first frost date and read seed packets or days to harvest after transplant. If you have 120 days in season for 90 day variety your fine. Basically knowing your frost date key.
I successfully transplant many crops including tomatos early varieties in August by knowing frost date.
I live in Pa and it's so unpredictable. sometimes we get snow after the last frost date lol
@@daniellebailey6802 I do as well but historically go back and look at average last 10 years data. Our first frost date keeps extending annually. I was harvesting tomatoes in October as mid month it was hot and sunny. I do start my own transplants so less risk my end for crops failure because I spend pennies to start them
@@daniellebailey6802 I was referring to message too late to plant hot weather crops. The first frost date is in fall, last frost date in spring 2 different dates. Hope that helps.
We have a long growing season...and I session plant...we grow potatoes indoor over the winter we concentrate on what we would buy on the weekly and use the summer for the yummy stuff...maybe I should say more fun...oh early in the season I plant to can or freeze
Thanks for posting...this was very informative👍
Glad it was helpful!
I’m in Utah as well, I do ok with lettuces all summer long. I have a small raised bed that is fully shaded and I keep them well watered.
I'm trying some lettuces in a shady spot this year too. I hope they do well, they are just starting to germinate.
Just barely starting to plant some things. I did sweet potatoes a few years ago for two consecutive years with the first year providing the best harvest and the second year was bad enough for me to stop the efforts. Now I'm starting again with other things. Thanks for your information!
You can do it!
Amend your soil
Yeah, I'm going with all Irish potatoes next year. Better yields for the space, and easier. Hmmm. I do love me some sweet potato though.
I decided to video my garden this year. Its a traditional garden with lots of weeds and grass but made tons of food.
Nice!
Thank you!! I need to sign up for the fall/winter course!
Any time!
Lol I live in northern Ontario Canada. We don't plant most stuff until the last weekend of May and into june
Thanks,
Thank you thank you. I really need this
You are so welcome
Last frost date up here is late may. With our late spring and cold wet weather we're just getting th garden in now. Manitoba Canads.
Awesome!
Thank you.
Hi, I decided to film my garden this year. Its just a traditional garden with lots of grass but most things did well.
I love it!!
My patio garden is popping the 3 year happy growing
Nice!
Excellent! Thank you! 👍
Glad you liked it!
My taters Are already coming up! I planted them in wood chips this year!
Most of ours are up too! But I'm going to be planting some more in containers this week.
@@StoneyAcresGardening Nice! 🙂🌱
@@StoneyAcresGardening Because of the pending food crisis I planted red and white potatoes under all my beds. I have corn waiting for my garlic to finish which is running late. So my corn will be late. But I'm sure we will have a late summer and I'm in N. California. Should be okay. Planting like crazy this year.
@@RkicF8 I plant green beans after my garlic. Pests don't eat the seedlings and I get to pick them in cooler weather. Never thought of corn .
@@amandacampbell6236 oh that's brilliant!
Thanks for sharing very good information
Thanks for visiting
Just found your videos! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Much appreciated.
Of course!
thanks for info
Welcome
All of them... I plant all my plants in June in Minnesota... Planted sone today, more tomorrow...
Nice!
Great information. New subscriber. I hope to be as good as you at some point. This will be my 4th year using deep mulch. Thank you.
Thanks for the sub!
Great video!!!
Thank you!!
Thank you for the info I'm in Ohio new to gardening
Good luck!
Great info!!! Just subscribed ☺️
Awesome! Thank you!
I sure wish I had some corn more potatoes & beans to plant.
Corn and beans seeds should still be easy to find. It might be getting a little harder to find potato seeds.
Hi from Nova Scotia. New sub. Great garden planner. I've been wondering what I could still plant. 🙂
Thanks for subbing!
What about sweet potatoes? I am in 7b. I was going to experiment and try growing it this year for the first time. But different things have prevented me from growing it sooner. I know it prefers warmer weather anyway.
Great video.
Now a question.
What is that wall behind you made of? It looks rather unique.
It's actually a pre-fab concrete wall that has been painted. We have a commercial development behind us (a Walmart grocery store). When they put it in the city required them to build that nice wall to help keep the noise down.
Thanks
Welcome
Very helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the info😁👌👌
No problem 👍
Good stuff
Thank you
Wow.. I am loving the wall in the background. How tall is that?
The wall itself is 8 feet tall, but it also sits a couple of fee above the rest of the yard so it's about 10 feet from the grass.
Thankyou !
You're welcome!
What zone are you in. I'm still planting so much. Just finished getting tomatoes in. Beans tomorrow. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. This helps a lot. Figured out I have a pill bug problem. Ate a bunch of stuff. I just put out diamotaceous earth and poofed it in all the cracks. They came out of the woodwork and I squished them. Now I think I will do better. I had put insect mesh out and it wasn't helping. Sprayed neem and though it doesn't kill them they don't like it. Saw them running and knew that must be it. Their eating pattern was a little mysterious too. I am just gonna do a regimine. Neem, BT. Baking soda, Peroxide and diamotaceous earth.
Just stay consistent and you should get them under control. Also work on your soil fertility, the healthier your soil, the better your plants will be and the less pests!
Black eye peas where I live.
Nice!
Whew 1st time gardener and I was concerned it was taking me to long to build my elevated raised garden bed (just something i wanted) and then had all these and starts and haven't yet started 🤦🏾♀️Analysis paralysis
Hurry and you should be fine!
My first year too. I have already planted half my garden with transplants. I do want to grow from seed too but if only 1 vegetable succeeds I will be happy. I have gained a lot of knowledge and some experience and had fun! :) Plus.. I have frozen a lot of dandelion and lambs quarters without much effort and no investment and I know that they will be back in the spring :)
What zones are you recommending these June plantings for? I live in N. Alabama...we are often still gardening in Nov. I grew up in WI, gardens were June -Sept.
This is for zones 5-7 really. Folks with a first frost in October.
Snap peas and pea shoots.
Great video … new sub!
Thanks for the sub!
Just found your channel, lovin it, could not understand what the name of the place to buy the summer crisp lettuces, I rewound and replayed it and still couldent hear the name. I dont see a link either.
I"m sorry, it's Johnny's seeds . Here's a link:
www.johnnyseeds.com/vegetables/lettuce/summer-crisp-lettuce-batavia/
I have much of the plants that were listed already planted in containers and running out of containers to put the plants in. Also I have some veggies ready to harvest.
Awesome!!
@@StoneyAcresGardening thank you. My church is going to hook up some more containers for me to finish my veggie, fruit, herb and flower garden. We have a few elderly neighbors that can't garden much anymore. God has laid on my heart to grow food for them. I am still learning how to grow food but if I can help the elderly, at least they have something to eat or supplement their food pantries. Thank you for your instructive videos. Bless you and your family.
What about strawberries ? I just ordered some to add to my garden
Stoney acres...talk about stones...my garden is an old river bed...you want to talk about stoney...I have layered the ditch line with those smooth rocks...kinda like the way the Blue Ridge Parkway does theirs...It's been a struggle doing this garden...VERY labor intensive! LARGE ROCKS down to little pebbles...THE SOIL IS VERY GOOD...RICH... ALMOST BLACK!!!
I live in Calgary, Canada and it is Canadian zone 4a/USDA zone 3a?
My Malabar isn't doing much but sitting there, I started from seed and its slow growing lol
I've never done Malabar so I can't help there, but New Zealand is slow to start too.
My first year planting Malabar, it just sat there for awhile. The last 2 days it has grown over 6” both days. The weather heated up a lot.
@@cathymartin19 that's awesome! Mine is growing a 3rd leaf so well on our way 😂 I've gotten it from the nursery before and it went well.
@@spacekimono I have grown it several years. It starts slow, then growth seems to explode!
I am growing longevity spinach. It grow like crazy in summer.
I will have to try that one. I miss spinach during the summer months.
Are there any of these that can be planted in part shade? There's a corner of my garden that only gets about 5 hours (if that) of sun.
All of the greens will do fine in the shade (kale, Collards, Swiss Chard, etc.) I've heard that beans do okay with less light, but I've never tested it myself.
I grow tomatoes in shades. I have a little garden next to the bricks of our bathroom that only get 2 - 3 hours of sun. The smaller tomatoes like cherry, grape, sungold and 100 million always do great in the shade. It's their place for years now because they do great in that place. I also planted parsley, cilantro, basil, cucumber (abundant in the shade), spinach, zinnia, peppers, pole beans and even determinate tomatoes (for sauces) in the same area. I have limited space so I experiment on growing anything in the shade. Kale and collards definitely love the shade and even mustard, swiss chard and turnip greens. I tried growing okra in the shade too that only get 3 - 4 hours of sun. They were fine, also the carrots, borage, cosmos (flowers) and sunflowers. Experiment and take note which plant survive and which one didn't so next planting season, you know what to plant in that area. Good luck! ❤️🙏
@Christs servant Yeah! It's good to try planting in different areas and see if the plant like it. Thank you for sharing that! ❤️🙏
Thanks for reminding me about marigolds
The flowers are edible.
@@cm-xq5zj i did not know that. I just wanted to attract bees
@@jeffhuntley2921 yes, they can be dehydrated and stored for teas or feed them to your chickens if you have them.
@@cm-xq5zj cool. I’ll plant dome extra for my chickens:) thanks!
@@jeffhuntley2921 they will love it!
whats the plant at 0:15? i have some very similar looking ones showing up in my tomato/pepper high bed
One of my squash plants. Pretty sure those are my spaghetti squash.
Thank you. I was worried because the irrigation water was on late this year and was turned off again for a week. Everything I planted pretty much died. My kids helped so much to. It’s upsetting.
Oh no! That's the worst! I'm glad the video could be helpful!
@@StoneyAcresGardening very much so. I was afraid I would have no crop this year.
You must be a northern growing zone..I'm 9b West Central Coast of Florida.. already 90* 90% humidity 😱
Yes I am!
In which region though? I'm in west texas
😑 Nevada lettuce out of stock at Johnny's -but thanks for the info!
Try Amazon. I've actually been able to find the there in the past. I think the seller is David's Garden Seeds.
Is it too late to plant some butternut squash?
Hi what can I used to stop slugs from eating my lettuce and cabbages don't want to used chemicals thanks
Hand picking is the least chemical. You can also use beer traps. I use a produce called Sluggo. It is organic and also pet, bird, and child safe.
Get frogs homes set up. They eat slugs. It helps me! Dig a little puddle for them and set up some shady areas (broken flower pots work well). I love seeing frogs in my garden!
food grade diatomaceous earth laid in a circle around each plant or along all sides of the bed. Be generous, it's cheap and replace after heavy rain.
Slug traps using yeast, flour and sugar. Great video on RUclips and lots cheaper than beer
When does frost season usually start at yours?
We are frost free normally between about May 15th to October 1st. But we've had frost as late as June 1st and as early as September 20th. But those are rare.
@@StoneyAcresGardening Cheers, hope everyone has a good season.
can you do squash in containers?
Yes. Use at least a 5 gallon container and they should do great!
@@StoneyAcresGardening oh shoot, I just planted some in smaller containers. Damn diddley. Should i wait till they come up and transplant, or keep them where they are and increase fertilizer??
Mine did fine in grocery bags. I don't think those hold 5 gallons.
Cilantro and some lettuce bolted already. Remaining lettuce is bitter ,why? Carrots and beets are stunted should be almost ready . Should I take them out or leave them ?
If it has started getting warm that would be causing the lettuce to be bitter. It's hard for me to help you with the carrots and beets question without actually seeing them. Sorry.
@@StoneyAcresGardening thanks I understand. I guess the question is will they ever grow to maturity in the heat ? I 've never tried to grow beets so not sure what to expect. Already in the 90's won't really get better until September.
@@gaildunn8047 thank you for asking that question. Im getting a late start. It's in the 90s here in 9b and expecting 100+ degrees in a few days. Maybe I'll wait until October to plant beets, broccoli, spinach etc.
@@suzannecornell2801 I'm Soo Glad to see someone else in Zone 9b > So many youtubing gardeners live in much more "hospitable climes" ( And have nice things like trees, grass & fences). I'm close to 70 yrs old & have worked "like a man" too many years, lol > can't dig, haul & build like I used too. This helped me to not give up, tho! God Bless ya'll❣️
I've 'bout
I have a tomato plant that is over 5ft tall. Tons and tons of flowers but won't set fruit. My other tomatoes plants are all loaded with fruit. Any idea what could be Goin on??? I'm in Central Florida
Pollination?
It could be too hot
DANG IT, IT WAS TOO COOL FOR PEPPERS OR ANY WARM WEATHER STUFF! BARELY 68 DEGREE DAYS EVEN STILL!
Hello i have a question i just build a 4x5 foot raised bed its 3 foot tall i wanted to know last year I had some beans in 7 to 10 gallon grow bags and they got mosaic virus i was wondering if I could use that potting mix at the bottom of the raised bed to help fill it?
I know if feels like a big waste but I wouldn't risk it. With beds that deep you can add some logs and branches at the bottom to fill up some of the space, that will help cut down on the amount of soil mix you need to add to the beds.
@@StoneyAcresGardening thank you do i have to throw all that mix away? I wrote a long reply then deleted it because all I really need to know is what to do with the potting mix?
@@charliewilliams8794 do not plant any nightshade (tomato, potato, pepper, eggplant etc) near or in them.
Personally, I would re-compost them so they HEAT UP. I'd add urine (urine is sterile), water, and cover it. Repeat process after turning.
I do think most folks would toss it but I don't throw anything away.
Ask yourself: what would nature do?
Edit: Also make sure no one throws cigarette butts anywhere close to the garden!
I wonder if baking it in, say a gas grill wouldn't sterilize it? Do it in batches, cool it and reinnoculate it with good compost? Maybe a bit of work but good soil can be hard to come by.
@@daniellebarker7667 your so right about that. Thanks for the advice🧡
The rain here has been terrible! Not a ton of sunshine… anything I can do?
Just wait it out!
