AH - The rain has indeed been wonderful in Central TX. Lake Travis is still below half full and Buchanan is right at the halfway mark. Have you checked out the TX Forestry wildfire risk map? Of course, I’ve got some spots of the dark red highest risk back in the hills near us. It’s scary and will be for several years what with all the dead cedars.

The garden here is doing fine. The rain knocked off the tomato blooms but the squashes and cuke blooms are lovely to look at and are producing. Been picking green beans, peas, mustard, salad greens, asparagus, salad greens and onions for the table. The deer have been snacking on the corn and sunflowers and all the pecans those bushy-tailed rodents have planted are popping up. Still pulling weeds, haven’t finished the round of the garden and the weeds are already up again where I started.

JDB - I always look forward to your pictures. Such a lovely place you have. Happy Mother’s Day to you and all the FR moms!

texas_mrs - I’m with you one my favorite caladiums being the white ones. Most of the new ones I planted came up white so I’m all happy!

I decided to put my cucumbers on wire fencing again this year. I did that a couple of years ago and we had no problem finding them when they were ripe. They have a tendency to creep into the tomato area and are hard to find in all the green leaves.
