Had lots of rain last night along with a thunderstorm. Lost power here for a while, and since I was away from the house, and not expecting rain at all... I lost 60 baby tobacco plants that were still in egg cartons. They were out where they could get hammered directly by the rain.

Everything else is doing fine. Potatoes are going crazy, putting out green, tomatoes and pepper plants are little, but doing well, sunflowers are growing faster than the weeds. All of the cantaloupe, pumpkin, and squash are doing well.

I started tobacco seed this morning for 56 replacement plants, and next week, I'll start peanuts.

Not terribly unhappy with the way the year in the big garden has started.

OH I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your baby tobaccos. :-(

I am glad you are not taking it too terribly hard, but still, you have my condolences!
