I had a Frog choking down pour this past Wed. I bet we got over two inches of rain in an hour and a half. It rained so hard there was a river of water washing over our back porch. The porch is covered and at ground level. I will have to add more Fertilizer to my lone raised Bed tomato patch. I am sure what I added a week ago was leached out.

Well, I wish we had your extra rain. LOL. It’s been tough and very unusual Missouri weather this year. If we had to survive on what we could grow this year, we would starve.

However, it is good in a way, because Hubby is finally interested in serious rainwater storage.LOL.

Good to hear from you. Saw your beer thread. Hubby is collecting all kinds of jugs to make wine, but so far, not enough grapes to do it.

Have a great weekend.

A couple of views of our corn patch and pumpkins and winter squash are doing well in spite of very little sunshine. The hotter it gets inland the more overcast days we have here on the coast of far northwestern Calif.
