This past week has been one toad strangler after another here in Central Missouri. 17.5” of rain over 11 days.
The sun came out yesterday, and the next few days are supposed to be dry, but it may be too late for my tomato plants. The majority of them went limp noodle on Thursday. Hopefully they’ll snap out of it, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Garlic is ready for harvest, but it’s too muddy for that. Turnip and rutabaga are near drowned. Peppers aren’t happy, but they’re hanging in there. Squash is thriving. Pole beans are a little on the yellow side but I think they’ll be ok. Cucumbers are looking good. Beets are loving it.
All of the grandkids will be here this weekend. Neighbor guy is throwing a big fish fry this evening. I donated a nice sack of catfish nuggets for that deal.
I got the grass mowed yesterday, so I think I’ll just relax and enjoy the festivities. Chores can wait.
Augie; maybe see if you can cut off some large suckers and and root them in a fairly dry medium for later replant? (Coconut coir / Sphagnum) You might not be able to get 50 or 60 for a canning garden but you might get enough for a soup/salad garden.
17.5” of rain sounds impossible! You deserve a break, Augie! Enjoy the day. :)
