We’ve gotten a welcome bit of rain here in Central Missouri over the past week. We were getting close to 2” and got another pop-up surprise late this afternoon.

Harvested the first half-dozen cukes on Saturday. Tomatoes are beginning to ripen. Garlic is just about ready to come out.

I processed enough cabbage yesterday to fill two 5-gallon buckets with what, in about six weeks, should be some very tasty fermented sauerkraut. There’s still enough out there to make another 5 gallons.

Picked about three gallons of red plums yesterday. The japanese beetles got my damson again this year. Peach trees are loaded with silver-dollar sized baby peaches.

Things are looking up...

That sounds great. We got some rain over the weekend, and Monday and Today. Also electrical outage and computer outage this AM. So I’m taking a break and catching up before we go down again.

So far all we have had is lettuce, squash, garlic, a small amount of wheat, and a big bunch of green beans which we harvested yesterday.
