Post-monsoon, we’ve had 10 or so days of 90°+ daytime temps and rain forest humidity here in Central Missouri. Another cool front rolled through last night and dumped a couple inches of rain that we didn’t need.
Three of my 24 tomato plants are going to live. There are three others that are trying to snap out of it. The rest are toast. No salsa for Augie this summer.
The garlic is ready to harvest, I just need to muster the gumption to do it. Probably be Monday before it’s dry enough in the garden to work on that. If we don’t get more rain.
The squash and pole beans are happy. Canteloupe is happy. Kale isn’t liking the heat and the cabbages that were getting close to harvest folded up completely due to the heat last week.
I had two loads of gravel delivered on Wednesday. Had one load spread and the other went on the pile. I’ve used half of that already. I was hoping 50 ton would be enough to get the lane back in shape, but it’s going to take 75 at least. Ugh...
Poor Augie! UGH is right! :(
