We did NOT get enough rain. I'm going to be hurting on rain water in a few days. I use only rain water for my seedlings/herb/salad garden.

Yesterday, I was in Walker County which is the county to our north, about 25 miles away, and a thunderstorm poured rain and lightning, the whole ball of wax, for some time. I just looked at my rain gauge and there is a little over an inch in it. I don't know if it rained during the night, but it was raining this morning when I got up and still is although it is lighter rain. Just looked at weather channel and I have an 80% chance of rain today so the present lighter rain may stay here all day.
I went out in the light rain to look at plants. I would say the “T” squash is approaching 7 feet long. There are definitely 10 walking onions up. That is all that planter can hold when the onions start walking, in fact, it will be too small.
For spring, I need larger surface area containers, maybe like a square box. And, I need more of the 33” across barrels with the plastic tower to hold up vines, whether it is used for tomatoes or vining veggies.
I'm going to get Ouachita blackberry plants when they are ready for shipment and want a dwarf fruit tree of some type. The dwarf trees are ready for shipment from that south Texas dwarf nursery, in November.
And, I didn't know jack about plants last March but I know a lot more now. And, I could actually can something if I had something to can.
When I was growing up, we had fig trees and Mom canned fig preserves every year. We also had peaches and her canned spiced peaches were out of this world good.
I thought everyone had fresh veggies out of the garden at every meal, and always hot cornbread for lunch and dinner. I was so spoiled and didn't know it. When you grow up with something, you assume everyone is the same.
I don’t guess you have a creek on your property?
