There is one thing we surely learned at Wilson Garden. We were able to water the plants to keep up with an extreme drought last year, we can build a nice fence to keep animals out of the garden, but we were not prepared to torrential rain this year. Just 2 days after we seeded our spring crops a torrential rain pounded on our beds for several days, washing away all our seeds. So unfortunately no harvest for the kids before the school closing.
For sure we cannot complain of what happened to us when compared to all the flooding and tornadoes damages suffered throughout USA during this spring. I would not be surprised if all this frequent and record droughts and rains will be linked to Climate Change once studied.
Kids are surely learning how difficult can be to grow food and thus appreciate it more.
Let's hope we will have an abundant summer harvest when the kids come back to school in August.
