It is June 17-2015 and I am just about finished clearing weeds out of my garden beds that were a result of our 20 inches of rain in the month of May. We are having a soft rain today and you can see my Best, Best Garden Helper, Chewy, staying out in the rain to assist me. He takes his job of staying out in the garden with me while I am working very seriously. "Shelties are Good Helpers".

It is the middle of the month of April 2015 and the seedlings are growing. We have had some nice gentle rains and I need to get my dill, parsley, lettuces, cabbage, celosia, marigold, and zinnias direct seeded very soon.

Lovely tall garden phlox growing 2016 and I ordered more for 2017. They did great on the north side of my home in the long Oklahoma summer.
