Expecting severe thunderstorms and flash flooding in and about San Antonio. NWS warns the storms may bring damaging wind, large hail, and even spawn tornadoes. Some areas may receive 5 inches, though 2 to 2 inches is likely for most of us.

I’ve got trays of peppers, tomatoes, squash, eggplant and cucumbers waiting to be transplanted. Except for a line of peppers and tomatoes, I’ve got 8 cherry and grape tomato plants in containers too big to fit under the patio awning.

But, this being San Antonio, maybe we’ll just get the 2 to 3 inches. That would be very nice. :-)

Still harvesting onions, collards, cabbage, lettuce and snap peas. Drat. The broccoli bolted.

I’m calling my daughter in ‘dead battery’. She has to be at work at 6 at the flattest part of Austin, and if I have to go kill that battery myself she’s not driving out into this at 5:30p.

Good to hear from you. I heard of a tornado near San Antonio and I'm hoping that you and yours were uninjured and suffered no property damage.

You are way ahead of me with your veggies. Getting ready to direct sow some cukes, okra and sweet peas. Need to get the sweet corn planted, but the rain isn't letting the field dry out enough to get the tractor in there. The storm line you had is going to be here late today or early tonight.
