Wisconsin is having some tough times these days, with no rain.

Much the opposite here in NE, though last year saw drought. and I do not think i actually needed to water the gardens for over a month. Almost 2'' of heavy rain fell just last night, but the tomatoes survived, thank God.

Thanks and glory to be God in Christ.

We’ve been pretty wet too, and earlier this week, I had to pull up the straw I put down between the garlic rows to keep the weeds down.

It was so wet in the garlic bed, that I was afraid it would ruin my huge crop. Looks like we are not going into a drier spell, which will be great for harvesting garlic.

My onions are doing well enough and I am hoping the drier weather will help them as well.

I did have a great snow pea crop and the romaine lettuce was very abundant. My second planting of peas is coming in nicely adn the beans are flowering.

I got some zucchini started, a little late but hoping to beat the squash bugs, especially the vine borers. We don’t do a lot of zucchini so even a small crop will be enough for us.

Most of the Brussel sprouts are doing great. I even have a few very teeny ones starting at the base of some of the plants.
