It's winter in Florence

 Hi Everyone!

I know a few weeks ago I said I wasn't going to complain about the weather. Well, I lied. 😏 

 The last 3 days has been pouring rain, wind, and cold. Yeah that reads 51°F and at night it has been 39°F

 

It's like our normal winter here. 

Since I garden mostly in containers the plants can't take this much rain. So EVERYTHING had to be covered. However, 2 days of cover, plants needed to be watered. I uncovered everything for a good soaking but after I write this I need to cover everything up again. 

This is my driveway, well you can't see it because IT'S flooded!!!

OK, I better calm down before I blow a blood vessel. Ha ha ha. I'm really not as upset as the sounds, I'm just so sick and tired of having not having summery type days, when it's suppose to be summer. 

On the other side of things I have taken this day to draw, while Mr. M. is watching car shows.

Also, as I am sure you all know, I'm always researching and learning new things about the garden. Do you know what this is?

You are correct if you said a container of yest fermenting. I have read about this for several years and thought I would give it a try. You will need;

1 quart/1liter of warm water, 1T of dry yeast, and 1T of sugar. Place in a container and let it set for 24 to 48 hours, stirring once in a while. When you are ready to use it make sure that you have already watered your plants. Then take 1 part yeast to 10 parts water and mix. Add 1 cup of mixture to the base of your plants. If any of you have tired this let me know how it did for you.

That's it for now. I have to put my rain coat on and cover up my garden.

Hope you have sunshine.
