Wimpy Storm

Lesson learned; I didn't properly store my seeds from last year and
I'm now seeing terrible (~10%) germination rates with this "Bright Lights"
swiss chard and even worse with my "Red Cardinal" spinach

I've been under the weather and haven't done any work out back.  The weather pukes were threatening rain and when it finally arrived it was nothing more than 3-4 minutes of real rain. Although I've been staying in bed to get over this cold, I have gone out and turned the compost tumbler each morning, as promised.
