I see all this rain on doppler radar, and it all went right around me..I swear we’re cursed.
I sent this to the list I have for gardeners who post here. I did it to report on the “Deck Corn”, a hybrid made by Burpee.
In my inspection tour this morning of the plants on the deck, one of the corn plants has produced in the middle of one of the stalks about 15 round corn tassel looking things. They range between 5 to 6 inches in length. Likely, one of you knows the right name to call these.
Because they weren't there yesterday, they had to be wrapped up in that stalk and the stalk opened up to expose these. I don't know the next step the corn makes but one of you who grows corn could tell me. It's hard to believe I can grow ears of corn on my deck. I hope nothing happens to stop this from happening.
I have nine cucumber plants of two or three different kinds and they all have blossoms and I see cucumbers.
The four tomato plants of different types have blossoms and I see little green tomatoes on three of them.
rightly, we have 60% chance of rain today and 40% tonight and I think it's about to rain now (I hope). The humidity in the garden is 79%.
sockmonkey, still no blossoms on T squash but the fuzzy things are all up and down that squash plant. It's four feet plus tall. I have other T squash plants, planted after that first one so they are still small.
greeneyes, the potato plants have open blooms on them as of this morning.
We had about a 5 minute sprinkle from the storms. Thankful for that. Hoping I wouldn’t have to water today but will need to turn the sprinkler on in a few minutes.
Those in the DFW area, take care of the hail and winds.
You’ve got that right. I was at the Farmers Market in Bandera. We were wondering if we wold be rained out, but the clouds broke around 10AM.
