Well, getting the last of my SEEDS in today. Finally clear weather two days in a row, so the mud is just now barely dried enough to work.

Any bets on IF I get any veggies out of this fiasco?

BTW, I prefer to plant seed to soil because here I find I have far less/no trouble with diseases.

I do have 14 miserable stunted tomato plants that I started indoors that I put out 10 days ago. They made it through the terrible downpour of two inches of rain the other night.

And if it all fails completely, I’ll have a lesson about the ant and the grasshopper personalized just for me.

Here, I start everything inside. It's Texas, and it's harsh out there until the plants get large enough.

You have a very narrow window to work with. That is not in my experience, so I can't offer any advice. I can offer prayers up, but that's the best I can do. I ran out of canned jalapenos last year, and had to buy store-bought. I understand lean years, and try to ensure that I can enough to get me through those times. I don't always manage.
