In my 30 years here I've seen it so wet that water seeped from the ledges 24/7 for about as long as we have had this dry spell and algae grew on top of the caliche and smelled like a marsh. When it's that wet it's too wet to garden. However on the other hand when it is dry at least we can water a small garden and still have a little fun gardening.

I decided to take today off from working on the fence to plant 108 peat pellets, mostly tomatoes, 5 varieties of pepper, 2 varieties of Broccoli and a few pellets of basil. I plan to share a few plants with a neighbor who helps out a lot at church.

Here is a picture of a Flora Cart I am using to start seedlings. The height of the light is fixed so I have to use a plate glass shelf and elevate it up to the light.
