Sometimes You Can Be Too Wet

Tropical Storm Andrea hit DC yesterday. There was no major damage, just lots of rain and backed up sewers (yuck!). One of my water jug planters could not keep up with the amount of water it was getting, and unfortunately my carrots didn't take it too well. I'm not too bummed, because I did get to eat some of them. Mostly I'm happy that my first attempt at carrots was successful (except for the rain). I might get some new seeds going for the fall.

This is why you want to make sure your plants have good drainage if they are going to be outside.

Eat, drink, be merry, and get dirty!
