Yes, I was just thinking that [about the containers] while I was outside mowing the part of the lawn that wasn't under water. I'm glad our garden is safe so far.

What did you mean by planting some warm weather stuff? [Sorry, I'm really new at all this.] I dug up our garlic and now have some space.

Bravo on hand washing your clothing, by the way. Last summer we had a washer but not much of a dryer, and hung stuff outside. That seemed easier than what you were/are doing. Makes my fingers hurt just thinking about it.

After garlic, I like to plant beans and watermelons. A sugar baby melon will mature in around 60 days, and they don’t really like cold damp weather. So melons would be a warm weather crop to me. Also sunflowers hate the damp and cold. Most corn dislikes cold weather. That’s just some.

I actually looked for an old fashioned wringer that I could mount on a saw horse or something to use, but they want too much money for something that I would only use for emergencies.

I’m going to keep my eye out the next time I go to the local old junk shops.
