Soggy with a Chance of Torrential Downpours

That, folks, was the month of May in Oregon. Weather systems that behaved like December.

We saw Snow, Hail, High Winds, Rain, Drizzle, Monsoons, and very little sunshine.

And this week, what is in the forecast?

Our poor garden is just sitting there looking rather pathetic. Some of our lettuce bolted after putting out just a few scrawny leaves, and the tomato plants that were taking over the greenhouse are now sitting there in the ground looking very sorry for themselves... The only things that seem to be thriving are pesky weeds, and the ground has been too saturated to till between the rows.

A little sunshine and warmth would be really, really nice about now. Just enough to ripen these lovelies...

and these...
