We had a few days without rain here in Central Missouri last week, then came another 3” Thursday and Friday.

I got into the victory garden with the weed whacker and shredded all of the tall stuff, along with the rows of radish and green salad. Gave it a day for the shreds to dry, and raked up most of the mess. Got over the spot where the garlic was planted with the tiller, in preparation for sowing okra. Then the deluge came and shut me down.

It’s supposed to be dry this week, so I should be able to get the okra and a row or two of collards seeded.

I’m starting to get a few tomatoes, in spite of most of the plants being near dead.

Squash and cucumbers are doing well. Pole beans have started blooming. Peppers are suffering, but hanging in there.

Augie, sadly, every time it rains here (KC area) I look at the radar and its heading down your way. You have my sympathy!

Sometimes I wonder if the changes to global climate have a lot to do with China weather modification????

If you tinker with natural systems you sometimes do not get what you expected.
