take a break

it's another rainy saturday and the garden and i are both taking a time out...mostly because there's not a lot to do in the garden this weekend...poor weather in winslow maine has delayed the jerusalem artichokes...i spoke to johnny's select seeds yesterday and they do have a record of my order and assure me they are due to be shipped in the coming week...with any luck i will have them before the week is out and can spend part of my birthday getting them in the ground...that will be it for fall planting...well , that and the gama grass...mulch the garden after the first hard frost and then do some more research into what to expect until i have to start germinating seeds for the spring...all the seeds are here, the only thing left to order is seed potatoes and that won't happen until next year (probably...unless i find some grower who will accept one earlier)...it's been a pretty smooth ride so far...can't help but wonder what the first major bump will be...any garden psychics out there?
