The crazy weather just doesn't want to give up this summer. We got 2" of rain in 45 minutes Friday afternoon. I had to make two detours to get home from the salt mine because of roads being under water. Total rainfall since June 26th is approaching 20".

The grass and weeds and veggies are all growing like it's May and I can't keep up. I've got tomatoes running out my ears, sweet corn is ready, and there are little baby bean pods all over the Blue Lake vines. The Straight 8 cucumber vines have pretty much all croaked so there is some relief there.

I picked a few Roma tomatoes and a couple peppers and made a small batch of salsa and spicy tomato juice over the weekend.

On Sunday, Hubby said our weekend rain had filled an empty coffee can. I’ve no idea how much we have had, but the rain barrels are all overflowing and it rained again Monday and Monday night. Flash Flood warnings here and all surrounding counties.

Thanks for the pics. People around here have had lousy tomato crops this year.

Great pictures! You’ve been busy. The only thing better than harvesting and canning is looking at pictures of harvesting and canning.
