We had an interesting week. On Thursday, we went to the farmers market and we were expecting rain. An 80% chance of precipitation was forecast.
At 10AM, the clouds broke, and by 11AM, the skies were clear....no rain, but humidity that you could cut with a knife.

Yesterday, the Mrs and I went to the city. On the way back, clouds built up and suddenly there was thunder and lightning....and we got rain! Big wet drops! It stopped before we arrived at home, but there was about 3/4 of an inch of precipitation. The ducks and geese were having a field day. The plants look great after a wetting of rainwater.

Our Roma, Cherry, and Black Krimn are doing great, even after being nipped by that surprise freeze in April. Lettuce was transplanted from the hydroponics bed into the ground, and radish and carrots are sprouting.
We have Hot banana peppers Trinidad Scorpion peppers, Ghost Peppers (Thanks for the seed, rightly_dividing!), jalapeno, habenero, Orange Thai, Sweet peppers, and Tabasco peppers growing also.

The biggest problem we have is an armadillo. The little *&%$*$#e has invaded my hoop-house three times so far, and every time it has dug up all the okra seed. I'm afraid that I won't have okra this year.
