Moss and/or algae�

2001-02-23

Yak! YET MORE RAIN! All of the seeds I've planted are going to rot in the ground! We had two days of no rain, but not nearly enough for the ground to dry out. The patio is in the process of turning green. I encourage the growth of moss, but this looks like algae.

The only good thing about the rain is that the lettuce loves it. It's grown more in the last couple of weeks than it did in all the weeks since I planted it.

I don't actually follow the planting instructions on the seed packets, should there be seed packets. When I see the volunteer tomato seedlings coming up, I plant the tomatoes. When I see sunflowers come up, in go the sunflower seeds. What good are do instructions written for someone in Connecticut to for someone who lives in California.
