Oh, that’s so sad! I hope you can salvage some things!

We’ve had PLENTY of rain now. If it stops raining, I will no longer complain about having to drag the hose around to water. Promise!

Things in my garden are really lagging. I’m just getting some zukes, and the peas were a total disaster because we went straight to HOT for a few weeks in early June. Most of the lettuce has been used or is starting to bolt.

I do have tomatoes and peppers on, but things just seem to be taking for-EVER this season for some reason.

I guess that Solar Minimum is to blame, more than anything. Less sun spots, less of the good rays hitting my garden? I’m still getting a nice (farmer’s) tan though, LOL!

Once things dry out a bit, I’m going to hop on my mower. I’ve got it down to a 2-hour job now, and I find it relaxing and it gives me time to THINK about important ‘stuff.’ ;)

A row of peppers and a row of tomatoes washed down against the deer fence - I carefully replanted and tied them up to stakes. They look pitiful covered in mud/dirt...

This really stinks..

I have utmost respect for folks that deal with weather for a living trying to grow crops...
