There is about six inches of standing water in this nine inch hole. Our yard is saturated to the point that it can't absorb any more and more rain is coming this week. I had hoped to get all the new plants from yesterday planted today but only got one rose and the vegetables planted; I didn't account for having to widen the trench I dug a month ago, nor did I expect it to not help. That wound up taking up a lot of my time and energy, so the annuals will have to wait until Monday to go into the ground and the raised beds. At least we're out of our drought for now.

#adventures in gardening #i managed to finally get my blue girl rose planted and got the drainage holes drilled into the new big pots for the patio #have to wait on the long planter because I set some succulents into it temporarily and the bees love them #my whole yard is full of happy little bees right now #everything is flowering and growing which is great #i also planted 'midnight snack' 'dances with smurfs' and 'san marzano' tomatoes and a purple bell pepper #and I'm once again trying to grow a cucamelon #the pumpkins i planted after halloween are starting to sprout and with luck will be very productive #still need to get the carnation and pansies planted along with purple and white sweet alyssums and a 'vavoom' rose #and hope the water doesn't rot everyone's roots this year
