this spring. We haven't had so much rain in many, many years. My kids can't even remember so much rain in their lives! And cold! We had the fire still going up until about a month ago. Things in the garden are so much slower than usual as well. The raspberries are usually abundent right now but they are green as can be...but with much promise of a bumper crop. And talk about lush - there is such lush new growth every where you look.
Those burnt out forest areas are covered in tree seedlings up to 2 metres high! It makes your heart sing when you compare it to not so long ago.
We've had floods as well. The creek well and truly broke its banks a few weeks back.
The downside is that weeds pop up and grow like crazy in the veggie garden.
I've been told it's going to be a wet summer....I think that's good? As long as it's not a wet and hot summer.
