Everyone's complaining about the rain. Yes, I still have a few more wheelbarrow loads of compost to move around, and I'd like to get it done before going on holidays, but planting is done and no major flooding is expected, so I'm happy! It would be nice if temperatures were a little warmer...
One thing about being a gardener is that you start to keep track of weather patterns from year to year. It always rains a lot in June - I was expecting this! Hence the mad rush to get all my planting done before now. So far in June, Calgary has received 47 millimetres of rain, compared to the average rainfall for the month of 79.8 millimetres, and the 247.6 millimetres that fell during the floods of June 2005, according to Environment Canada. This is nothing!!
