In Lieu of Earth Day

My green thumb and my taste buds are itching for me to get my veggie garden planted. Will it stop raining, just for a second, so my husband can finish my raised bed--please, oh please? We plan on planting tomatoes, peppers (red, green, banana and jalepeno), green onions, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, herbs and maybe okra and a melon or two. I can't wait to taste the fruits-and veggies-of our labor! :)
