Mostly dry and unseasonably cool here in Central Missouri over the past week. We’re getting a nice shower this morning but it’s moving steadily to the east and looks to be just about finished here. It will make a nice supplement to the watering I did over the weekend.
Not much to report on the victory garden. Watered and weeded, picked summer squash and cukes. Tomatoes aren’t doing much right now due to a lull in blooming from the Africa heat we had a couple weeks back. Sweet corn mostly stood back up after being flattened by wind and is looking like it wants to do something.
There’s no sign of the rhubarb that I transplanted in the spring. It looked great then the heat came and it all just folded up. I’m not sure where I’m going wrong with the stuff but it has used up most of my patience.
Today...good news is that its August and will only be in the mid 80s today! The weather this year has been really strange. Its all those volcanoes blowing up and pumping water into the atmosphere I think.
