We’ve had 2.5 inches of rain since yesterday morning, with rain forecast every day through next Thursday.

Milder temps are fine with me .... we’re borderline getting too much rain.

One thing I learned last year - as soon as the tomatoes show a blush of color, I bring them inside and let them continue to ripen on the counter. This does a couple of things .... with LOTS of rain, the tomatoes will split - doesn’t happen if you pick them while still a bit green. Also, the bugs/birds & other damage just doesn’t happen like it does with allowing them to ripen on the vine. I also did not notice any diminished flavor in letting them ripen up inside. It’s amazing how fast they fully ripen - about 3 days tops.

That’s a great map & I LOVES me some Joe! Just because an area isn’t in drought, certainly doesn’t mean it’s not flooded!

This is going to be one wild growing season all across America. A LOT of areas are really suffering, which is going to impact us all, up The Food Chain. :(
